For most of her career, she has worked with students who have struggled to master reading, written expression, and general language skills due to a variety of learning disabilities. After studying English as her major in college, Mary attended Teachers College, Columbia University, in New York City, where she received her master’s degree in special education. She recently completed a doctoral degree in special education at Arcadia University (PA). Her passion is to enhance the communication skills of students of all ages and, particularly, to inspire a deep appreciation of the joy and power of effective reading and writing in individuals with educational difficulties. For her, poetry has been a delightful unfolding of feelings, observations, reactions to world events, and ideas sparked by literature. She believes that there is a hidden poet in everyone.
As Raold Dahl has stated (in The Minpins):
Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.weniger sehen
