Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you.
 * Best! Stevenarntson

Personal Essay
This essay is looking quite good already. A few comments:


 * I think the Denmark thing should be pursued a little further. I know, for instance, that Australia also has free university provided you pass the exams. But the trick is passing the exams! In a country like the US where a Bachelor's degree is somewhat of a necessity, suddenly many people could get blocked from entrance.
 * Generally, I'd like to see some slightly wider reflections near the end. I feel like Obama is currently trying to create some reforms that might give people more access to basic services (including education) but the media and many people are hounding him and calling him a communist because of it. How, in such an environment, can the changes get made?

Great work on this so far. I like the voice of it, also. Best, Stevenarntson
