About
Hello! My name is Lanetta Dickens and I am currently a graduate student at Texas Woman's University. I am very excited that I was accepted into the Honor Society program!! I am honored to have and access the opportunities that are available for me through the website and the organization. I have a passion to learn and teach literary theory and composition. I believe students have the ability to write and read effectively. I really want to help students appreciate the culture and knowledge of literature and the English language. I plan to pursue a Doctorate's degree in English and continue to take courses. I am a studious learner, especially when it comes to literature and psychology. Hopefully by the end of the 2014 year, I will be able to teach either 12th grade or college level classes. I am now a substitute/tutor, but as soon as I finish and pass the certification exams, I will have the chance to teach.
