People learn and think differently.
My task is to accommodate these differences by enabling students the opportunity to shape their own insights, to develop strong analytical skills in their writing, to articulate their ideas with self-confidence. By promoting creativity and innovativeness, I have found that students consistently surpass my expectations, because they discover within themselves strengths they had never envisioned. Their enthusiasm in turn fuels my own restlessness to develop fresh ideas. I believe strongly that my responsibility is to stimulate the uunderstanding that history is made by people, who must resolve for themselves the fundamental issues of morality and immorality, of justice and injustice.
