Dave Burgess @burgessdave asks "Within your profession, but not specific to your subject matter, what are you passionate about? What is it about being an educator that drives you? What ignites a fire inside you?"
I love my students. I have a passion about reaching and teaching and watching the growth and achievement of my students. I want the time spent in my classroom to enhance and ennoble these young men and young women and provide them with the tools and inner belief in their own ability to learn and move forward with their goals in life. I desire their success and joy in their futures. I am constantly looking for ways to help them ignite their own passions so that they will take off in their own education and learning where ever they go. I want them to be able to be able to tell me when I ask them how they are today, tomorrow, and ten years from now, "I am awesome."
