Upon seeing the opportunity, Annalynn was \u201cimmediately interested,\u201d and with some encouragement from the <a href=\"\/academics\/english\/faculty\/\">English faculty<\/a>, she \u201c was in.\u201d This June 2025, Annalynn graduates with her English degree and certificates in Foundations of Teaching Language Arts, Writing and Rhetoric, Literary Studies, and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Unfortunately, we must tell Annalynn goodbye and give her our best as she prepares for graduate studies.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you are probably wondering who will write the blog, but do not fret, we will discuss more about me later! For now, I want to focus on Annalynn\u2014my amazing friend who has built connections, sharpened her writing skills, and found community during her time as a blogger.<\/p>\n<p>Annalynn decided on SOU before knowing what she wanted to major in: \u201cI remember looking at the list of options and thinking, \u2018hmm I like to write and read, maybe I&#8217;ll choose English as my major for now.\u2019 I was sure I would switch.\u201d She fell in love with the English program and credits this pivotal moment to \u201ca ridiculous amount of luck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first literature classes Annalynn took (ENG 209: Disability in Literature and ENG 208: Bible as Literature) were foundational and engaging. The professors invested in her, and she loved doing the work: \u201cThat was good enough for the time. I still did not know what I wanted to do, but I kept on taking classes and learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, in the spring of her second year, while taking ENG 488: Introduction to Teaching Literature, something clicked: \u201cWhen I was in that class, I loved every second of it. I felt like I had found my niche and a way to combine multiple passions (teaching, literature, writing, mentorship) in a way that was unique to me and my skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Annalynn comes from \u201ca long line\u201d of teachers, but she was not interested in teaching before taking that class. She emphasizes that ENG 488 was foundational, but picking a favorite course is hard\u2014she walks out of each class \u201cblown away\u201d by how much she has learned, grown, and accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>Once Annalynn graduates, she will miss everything about the English program: \u201cI adore this program: our faculty, our students, our classes. I am so grateful for a department that supports and invests in me as a learner and human. I will miss the English program and the relationships\/connections I have built from it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mbqptoub-95d433ebfd9431d5d6beca1bea239d11\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mbqptoub-95d433ebfd9431d5d6beca1bea239d11 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mbqptoub-95d433ebfd9431d5d6beca1bea239d11 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock rising-quote av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><blockquote>\n<p class=\"dig-4\" style=\"text-align: left\"><em>\u201cI feel like I have the English program as my foundation, supporting me and building me up wherever I go next.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"pop-8\" style=\"font-size: 0.6em;text-align: right\">\u2013 Annalynn Mueller<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mbqpv332-0b608f97d1f879b6f4d0fec8e7fba446\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-mbqpv332-0b608f97d1f879b6f4d0fec8e7fba446 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mbqpv332-0b608f97d1f879b6f4d0fec8e7fba446 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Similar to how Annalynn stumbled into the English program, she also stumbled into blogging. She took classes with Jewel Blanchard, the previous English program blogger, whom she \u201creally looked up to and admired\u2026\u201d While conversing with Jewel about blogging, Annalynn felt like blogging was something she needed to do: \u201cI did not know anything about blogging and had never done it before, but I knew I wanted to build my skills, confidence, and work ethic to what Jewel had. I was also searching for a way to be more directly involved and stand out in the campus community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Annalynn was unsure of her path and skillset, so she approached Dr. Margaret Perrow about the blogging opportunity. Dr. Perrow was \u201cimmediately excited,\u201d and Dr. Alma Rosa Alvarez joined in by \u201cjumping up and down with excitement.\u201d Their support reaffirmed that Annalynn could accomplish blogging, but she was timid and did not know how to engage with the genre. She became uncertain of her writing; the only way to get over this was \u201cto just do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The responses Annalynn received from her first few blog stories were positive: \u201cOnce I realized how fun blogging was and that other people were excited about it, I started to feel much more comfortable.\u201d Community members, SOU faculty, and the English faculty were enthusiastic about her writing;
