My teaching philosophy has been strongly influenced by my early experiences growing up in a household with a teacher present and with two parents who placed an enormous value on education. My parents, who saw the discrepancies in the socioeconomic conditions for minorities, viewed education a path to success and knowledge as something that could never be taken away from you. My dad once told me that “What I didn’t know could fill a universe”. That statement created in me a thirst for knowledge and a challenge to understand and learn things outside of my comfort zone. This has greatly influenced my teaching objective which is “to create and environment where students are driven to learn by a desire to acquire knowledge through critical thought”.
