"My Mensch" by Susan Proctor

schooled in responsibility

A new beginning comes with a transformation in a sense of oneself. A North Carolina writer shares her son’s dealing with a personal failure encountered at the start of his adult life as a college student and discovers something about herself as well.

Susan Proctor lives in Charlotte and belongs to Charlotte Writers Club. Her love affair with words began early on, when as a student, she perked up at the sight of an essay question! She says, “After all these years later, I still get lost in words!” Her work has appeared in Lilith Magazine and Jewish Values Online, Literary Anthology of Mothers, Inc.
