Teacher

My keys to accomplishment have been attributed through a life of high energy, focused aspiration for personal growth and improvement, intense will, psychological strength, personal organization, deep knowledge and skills, and determined, preserving physical effort. My deeper keys are right attitudes and high personal values. It has been my special gift of music and ministry that have led me to inspire others in reaching their essentials for success. In as such, being open to the Spiritual Force, before engaging in any act, is the effect of bringing life under control of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, my desire is to seek out life in full, and live a life of adventure and challenge which has the capacity to be selfless and self-giving towards others. Spiritual-like behaviors and values tend to attract ultimate achievements which have led me to an ever-greater success in my life.

I am expecting the best in the future and with guidance from the Holy Spirit, I will achieve it.

My Philosophy of Education:

My philosophy of education is not only an academic thing, but is also emotional, social and physical. In a classroom environment, I guide students in learning by presenting material in a way that works for the learner.

There is development of a life-long learning pattern for students, which guides, nurtures, and establishes the skills needed for prosperity of faith and future fulfillment, while keeping the focus in Jesus Christ and His mission.

My ability and perspective as a teacher are to create, to empower and to stimulate the interest of the student in a positive learning environment.

Teaching others has always been a strong suit of mine, especially when it comes to music. Teaching provides me with a sense of achievement. I am strong in managing my time. I do not watch much television. I consider my time valuable so I want to use it wisely. Another strong point is that I have a verbally adept personality which supports others, always ready for something new and exciting and an ability to inspire others. My weakness is that I tend to be a perfectionist. I am not satisfied until whatever I am doing is just right in my eyes. Another weakness of mine is I need to feel recognition and approval. I like to focus on developing relationships with people even when they do not respond to me. I can improve my interpersonal relationship by realigning my expectations towards others.

My personal plans and goals for the future are to be successful through faith, through reliance upon God, through keeping His commandments, through being humble, meek and lowly of heart, and to reach the hearts of the honest by working for the glory of this work accompanied by the Spirit of God and His Words.
