My goal as an educator can be summarized as follows: 1) To help students identify, in themselves, what is unique. 2) To help students reach their own potential. 3) To help students become worthwhile contributing members of society. 4) To help students gain pride and self-esteem so necessary for positive learning. By my example, support, and assistance, I want to encourage students to set goals for themselves. I want to give students the necessary tools to become life-long learners; to be compassionate; to be consistent; and to be fair.
