Gerrit Visser

Majored in English
Central College, Class of 2017
From Knoxville, IA

My primary passion is writing, mainly because I find joy in transitioning thoughts into words. I also love to work with children. I always try and teach them new skills and new ways of looking at the world. The children of today make society tomorrow. I would love for America's youth to enjoy the intricacies of English as much as I do.
