“I believe…”
Education is… a process with no end. Education is life - important and necessary to those who embrace its’ possibilities.
Schools are… helpful and a hinderance. Schools, led and run by the right people - people with true and positive intentions - are impacting. Schools, led and run by the wrong people - greed, ignorance, or what have you - can hurt. Schools are not the only place that education exist, but the potential and possibilities can be endless!
Teaching is… age old. Teaching is new. Teaching is difficult. Teaching is magical. Teaching is frustrating. Teaching is passion. Teaching is work. Teaching is play. Teaching is tiring. Teaching is awakening.
Students… need a safe and nurturing environment to experiment with what life is about and what it can offer. Students need patience and time to grow. Students need to develop skills and traits that make each successful to his or her own potential - Students need teachers to model this.
Teachers… need to possess unique qualities. A teacher’s work directly impacts the lives and futures of so many. Teachers need to possess all the qualities they expect or desire their students to attain - patience, responsibility, reflection, respect, determination.
