I can probably guess what you are thinking…. “Tequila’s?” Well, yes. When we first discussed the observation and the different places to do it, I was stumped. I thought for many days about somewhere I could do my observation where I felt comfortable, I was not in an unfamiliar area, I did not know much about it, and I could really enjoy my experience. Finally, it hit me! Tequila’s Discoteque… simply known as Tequila’s. So many people I know eat there and have invited me numerous times, but I…

an external eye, one of my major weaknesses in the first few weeks was that I doubted myself, the extent of my knowledge, and my ability to help my students. I felt somewhat out of place in my tutoring sessions considering the proximity in age and my lack of experience in tutoring reading comprehension and literacy skills.

Besides identifying “Socrates”, portrayed by Plato, as a teacher or an educator, I prefer to call him as an educationist. I define “educationist” as an utmost expert in educating with several unique characteristics. The most significant ones are presented thoroughly in the conversation between “Socrates” and Euthyphro in Euthyphro. Plato ingeniously used these characteristics as an educationist to defend the previous implicit critiques charging “Socrates”. Focusing on multiple philosophical…
