I love that the pre-generated beginning title of my first post, for my new copywriting company is ‘Hello World!’ I’m leaving that just as it is.
Hello world! It is I, copywriter extraordinaire, Heather Drenk. Well, with a bit more practice I will be, but I am starting with BIG dreams and aspirations. I have been an elementary school teacher for 25 years and have loved most of those years… and all of the kids. Kids have a way of keeping you young while your knees are aching and your back is sore. It’s really incredible. Their imagination, creativity and ‘que sera, sera’ thinking is inspiring. Being around the ideas of ‘Why can’t we?’ and ‘But what if we?’ I have told my students for years that as we get older, we form rules and routines and boxes for what certain things should be like, what the expectations are, and what way things should go. Yes, I know that as adults, we’ve tried things and found ways that work efficiently and logically.
But why does it always have to be efficient and logical?
Logically, I am close to retirement and should teach a few more years. I am really good at my job and can efficiently organize, teach, manage, and run a classroom well. So, why shift my career now?
Because I can.
Because, why not?
I love writing and designing and creating and communicating and connecting. I love helping others succeed and lifting them up. It’s what I’ve done in the classroom for years. Now, I will do it as a copywriter!
Hello World! I’m copywriter Heather Drenk.
