My Philosophy

• I believe that education is not only an academic
  thing - it is emotional, social, and physical. I
  believe learning never ends, it is a life long
  process.
• I believe all students can succeed. I have high
  expectations of my students. I want to inspire
  all students to reach for their dreams
• Through inspiration and practice, students can
  achieve anything.  As Nelson Mandela once said,
  Education is the most powerful weapon which you
  can use to change the world.        
• I believe that I am fair firm and consistent.
• My ultimate goal is to create life-long learners.
