I believe the purpose of life is to discover and cultivate one's giftings and to give them away - to absorb and exude beauty.

I believe that character development should supersede academics, because the latter will always follow with rigorous work on the former; and I believe that character is built by asking and answering good questions of solid mentors.

I believe that students need to be met with grace and an offering to be empowered.

I share with all my students three guidelines for succeeding in school; I teach them the fourth by modeling my beliefs.

"God has given us talents and faculties, and it's up to us to discover them, expand them to their maximum, and use them for maximum service in the world." - Rainn Wilson
