combined with good core values, truth everlasting. Educators must begin working together to create
a just society and democracy.
The success of all students is a direct result of their thirst for knowledge, their dedication, effort,
determination, integrity, and vision quality are enhanced and developed by knowledge that has
been raised out of experimentation through a real life experience. Their Knowledge should be
used as a tool in bringing forth what is within this brings out the potential to lead.
These are the foundations on which my educational philosophies are built.
