...huge part of our culture. It helps us think and form new ideas about our society. Other times, it can just be a fun way to escape into a whole new world and connect with people who have the same interest, like how Harry Potter has connected everyone.

...place. We should recognize and celebrate our differences and diversity in our thinking and learning processes. 3. Character education is as important as academics. Developing a language around character and helping students build character strengths alongside their academic strengths is vital. Social-emotional awareness, a personal code of morality/ethics, empathy, and compassion are part of what make us human, and education divorced from those things will not be as effective as holistic education. 4. Teachers must...

There, I was lucky enough to survey many subjects aside from math and physics including history,...

Because of this passion for education, I can ensure that I will work vigorously...

For example, if a student is a visual learner then I would draw diagrams, to explain concepts....
