It was commercial for one of the health colleges where some students were giving testimony of the reasons they went to that particular college and graduated. Most of all of them had the same reasons, which was to better their life for themselves or to get a better paying job.

Every job I have accepted or every role I have committed myself to on this campus I always strive to complete these three goals. When you come from a country where no one expects much from you, it’s bound to produce a few citizens who…

    There are a lot of reasons why I decided to come back to school to become a teacher, but one of the largest is that I have always enjoyed learning. I think there is something magical about watching the moment when the effort put towards understanding finally comes together and an idea just clicks for a student. I realize this is not all that teaching is, there are many times where you might not feel like what you’re doing isn’t really having an impact but seeing the moments of understanding do happen.
