Have you ever been asked what your dream job would have been, if you had your life to live over again? Imagine, you had not one, but two satisfying careers that brought you joy, allowed you to learn every day, and supplied you with a lifetime of laughter and happy memories! Happy Times Go Fast brings the reader on a trip down Memory Lane, as a retired teacher recounts her many classroom adventures over a 38 year career, first with deaf students and later with English learners. Throughout her memoir, there is a unique combination of academic information about language acquisition, anecdotes about former students, descriptions of funny and unexpected incidents, and interesting comparisons between the two populations she taught. This memoir conveys a passion for teaching, the author's unique sense of humor, and the genuine love she had for her students.
