“I always thought I was bad at writing, so I really dreaded having to sign up for this composition class. But Ms. Brooks showed me that anyone can be a good writer and that writing can be fun. I'm not scared of writing anymore because now I know that writing can help me connect with people, and I know that my ideas are worth sharing. Ms. Brooks is my favorite teacher I've had at UF.”

“This class changed my life. I put most of my creative interests aside after I became a pre-med student. Ms. Brooks encouraged me think differently, to find ways to combine my passions for medicine and writing. She even helped me think of how I might use art to help my future patients. She treats her students like colleagues, and she welcomes each of us by name.”

- Student in Special Topics in Composition: Lovestruck
