Stepping Out for the Central League Writing Contest

Today may be my last semester day at Penn, but on Thursday, I'll be back walking a school's corridors.  This time, my destination will be Conestoga High School, where the annual Central League Writing Contest will bring together an estimated 100 aspiring writers from some dozen high school districts in my area.  I've planned a workshop for their teachers.  I'm at work on a talk for the students themselves. As always I am certain that I'll gain most from those moments I can't anticipate, can't foresee.
