  1. Hi everyone my name is Susan Watson. I'm about 1/2 way through the AL program @ VCU. I currently teach ESOL for PWCS adult ed program. I've been in adult ed for about 9 years. One unique thing about me is that I've walked on the Great Wall in China. I'm looking forward to our conversations here on the blog.
