Every individual requires compassion in some form or another to function in life. Every student that enters the classroom is an individual in need of someone who can cater to their individual learning style. This is where passion comes into play. Teachers need to possess a passionate altruism which drives them to show up to work every day and lead by example for the students. I want to ignite my students' passion to become lifelong learners, and the best way to do that is to guide the students towards a love of education and a desire to learn in every aspect of their lives. I have a passion for potential, and nothing would bring me greater joy in this world than to guide my students towards reaching their full potential.
