Day after day Mrs. Nikki Wilson has to revise and edit and she must do that work to her own lesson plans and to her students’ assignments. You can tell by the look on her face that the job gets boring. She does the same thing over and over again. She loves her job but she gets tired of it because it is very exhausting. Nikki Wilson is an English Teacher at Seagraves High school, and is one of the best English teachers I have ever had. She has to write every single day of work, if it is not at night it is in the morning. She has to write lesson plans and she has to write reports of how each class is going. She has a class almost every single period of the day, and almost all of those classes are doing something different. Mrs. Wilson is also …show more content…

I would not want to mess up and totally ruin or change a writer’s paper. “This can be frustrating, but I take pride in what we do. It has our name on it—I want it to look good.”
