Deartra D. Boone, Professor
Welcome to my professor's e-portfolio. This site is a look at my professional career as a college English Professor and writer. At the age of 9, I began writing poetry. My love of writing grew from writing poetry to reciting at church programs to self-publishing short stories. Shortly, I plan to publish a novel. I write every day and believe that everyone is a writer.
The philosophy that everyone is a writer led me to become an English professor. I teach Freshman English Composition and Technical Writing at the junior college level. I teach my students that they can write better by respecting the writing process and using numerous other writing tools I teach them. I am always happy when one of my students tells me... "I used to hate writing, but after taking your class, I changed my mind."

I tell people, I grew as a pre-k teacher. That’s why I’m the kind of professor I am. Lillie J. Jackson ECC made me the teacher I am today.
