What Calls Me to Education?
“I have always felt that the primary purpose of each of our lives is to make fully manifest the potential that is inherent in every human being. I also believe that learning is the most effective mechanism for realizing that potential. However, access to quality education remains an unfilled promise for many students in this country and around the world. Educating all students to high levels is a goal that is achievable in our time; the means for achieving that goal are also within our reach. My passion and commitment is to work with others to fulfill our collective promise to all students, so that each student can manifest the promise that lies within. This is how I have chosen to serve. And in so doing, I progress on my own learning journey towards my full potential.”
