What I love most about the world is...
- the diversity and variety of nature and human experiences. It is humanly impossible to learn everything there is to know or experience everything there is to experience in this life; therefore, we rely on the knowledge and experiences of others to enhance our own understanding of this world. I believe that it is through the synthesis of the knowledge, experience, scientific findings, etc. that really contributes to the progress of learning about ourselves and our world.
The world would be a better place if…
- everyone had a dog to love them unconditionally
- we had more tolerance and respect for others regardless of their background, thoughts, or beliefs.
What I would like to maintain about the world through my work as an educator is…
- our desire to learn about people and the world that we live in
- the international exchange of ideas and knowledge for the betterment of humankind
What I would like to change about the world through my work as an educator is…
- to contribute to the personal growth and fulfillment of others
- to share my own love of learning to inspire others to always continue their own learning
I want my students to be…
- open to new ideas and people
- self-motivated
- comfortable with cooperative learning with an open exchange of ideas
- able to maintain a beginner’s mind, in that no matter how much they believe they know, students are able to approach each new situation believing that there is always something new to be learned.

Journal Entry
Years ago, a pursued a career in Nursing. I worked a variety of nursing settings from pediatrics to Critical care. I settled into Critical care. During this time, I would help instruct the staff on upcoming advancements and trainings. After 15 years in the medical field, I felt like it was time to take a break. I was going to take a break for about 6 months. I did not know what to do. I settled in on American Express, expecting it to be just a short stay. Shortly into my new job, I found out more about the corporate world and was impressed. I soon found my way into a coaching environment.
During this time, I also was involved in marriage enrichment & step family classes, at church. Up to this point, I realized that I truly enjoy helping people, but never really looked at training, as a career. I know that I wanted to help people find purpose and clarity. As I developed at American Express, I realized that I can make an impact in the lives of others, not only in developing their hands on functioning, but also in career advancement in terms of letting them see a bigger picture in the corporate environment and applying accountability principles in their everyday life, both career and personal.
Is this something that you do?
How is your interactions with your students the same and how does it differ?
If this is part of your goal, how do you bridge into their homelife?
