My mission as an educator is to lovingly serve each of my students as a whole person. As a teacher, I will create a safe and organized learning environment in which my students can learn best. I will foster critical thinking skills through teaching the subject of mathematics, and I will show them how math can be found everywhere around them. I will try my very best to continue to develop a growth mindset, so that I can firstly be an exemplar for my students and secondly encourage them to develop a growth mindset. I want to instill in my students a deep sense of gratitude for their own education, and I will provide opportunities for them to take learning into their own hands. I want all of my students to leave my classroom as independent lifelong learners. I firmly believe that each of my students is allowed for at least one year of academic growth, and I will do all that I can to assist them in their academic growth. I know that it is never too late for a student to learn, and I want my students to believe it too.
