Welcome. My name is George Ellington, and here you will find descriptions and samples of my work as a teacher of English as a Second Language at Salt Lake Community College. However, through this site I also wish to share with you what inspires me as a learner, as a traveler, as a writer, such as my photographs from around the world and the poetry that I compose. I am an educator, but a teacher is more than just the sum of his professional efforts. Rather, he is an individual striving to motivate others, to educate them, and to guide them towards greater self-awareness and an appreciation for what they are capable of doing with their lives--the incredible mysteries they can uncover as learners. The world around you is full of discoveries just waiting to happen. Just waiting for you. A true education does not define you, does not dictate what you must think or believe. Rather, it helps you learn how to define your own life. So what are you waiting for? Learn and grow and explore the world around you.
