Personal Statement

Teaching is my passion. I believe that education is man’s most formidable weapon. It can either be used for the highest good or basest evil; the contingency, more times than not, is the teacher. So I, the teacher, try to teach in such a way that my students will use their abilities for the greatest good. My teaching philosophy is to take each student on an individual basis. I try to find a way to bring to light the subject matter in each student's mind. Soren Kierkegaard, the great existential philosopher, says it best: “Instruction begins when you, the teacher, learn from the learner; put yourself in his place so that you may understand . . . what he learns and the way he understands it.” It is my responsibility as an educator to divine the best way for each student to comprehend the material. All students can learn; one just has to find the way he/she learns. This can be challenging. It takes patience, understanding, caring, nurturing, and hard work, but it must be done to ensure the student’s success. And for me, it is the most rewarding experience in all life!
