A writer. (My dad was a writer).

@Stereoguy English grammar and composition. For 28 years. I taught high risk offenders in juvenile hall in downtown LA, then adolescents and adults at the state mental hospital Forensic section.

@Stereoguy Yes. And I miss them, too. But I am now too old to deal with the stress. I retired due to my health.
