First and foremost, my educational philosophy stems from the belief that regardless of whom an individual is or where they may come from, everyone is capable of and entitled to a good education.  I believe that students should not feel obligated to attend school, but openly welcome the opportunity as a privilege only given to a select few. Ultimately, education is the foundation on which the future goals and dreams of all students are built.  The knowledge gained from education will allow them to pursue a career that will be rewarding in every aspect of the word. The essence of my educational mindset is that learning should never cease—no one is ever above being educated. I have and will continue to motivate students to make the most of opportunities to learn and teach others, while remaining humble during times of great achievement.  

 When striving to make the world a better place, it is important that we understand that education is the purest, most rudimentary component to our successful contribution—not only does it function to enhance the world, but it yields positive results for the lives it encompasses.  The giving and receiving perspectives of education help people to exemplify qualities of leadership on a daily basis. Leaders are taught to be strong mentally. Leaders learn to take responsibility for those who admire them and are following in their footsteps. True leaders are trustworthy and strive to see others excel in life.  By these defining qualities, education builds leaders—students who persistently try to improve the world. Good leaders should be credited with making decisions that help their followers become better people and live better lives, but we shouldn’t forget that the ability to do so results from their educated minds. My attitude in regard to education has led me to believe that the closing of one door will, assuredly, lead to the grand opening of another while traveling through this avenue of opportunity.
