A revised version of a letter to first-year teachers is presented. The letter was begun at Barren River State Park during the summer of 2007 during a Writer's Retreat sponsored by Western Kentucky University's Writing Project. The author recounts her encounter with consultant June Langford Berkley at a curriculum workshop wherein Berkley gave instructions in the writing process, with a proselytizer's belief in the power of writing to change the lives of students. An overview of the teaching experiences of the letter's author is also provided.
