...the importance of education and value in the betterment of themselves and their community. I believe that test scores don't tell the entire story of a student's progress, but an overview of the student as a whole is important to measure learning.

...share and impart that love of learning in others. As beautifully put by Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca in his moral epistles: "[P]art of the joy in learning is that it puts me in a position to teach; nothing, however outstanding and however helpful, will ever give me any pleasure if the knowledge is to be for my benefit alone. If wisdom were offered me on the one condition that I should keep it shut away...
