Philosophy:

I believe the purpose of education is to help us to live meaningful, productive lives.  Firstly, I have to constantly strive to work a little harder and do a little more each day.  Secondly, I have to believe I'm teaching the next generation of leaders.  The quote below states my beliefs better than I can: 

"The heart of education lies in the process of teacher and pupil learning together, the teacher drawing the pupil's potential and raising the pupil to surpass the teacher in ability."  Tsunesaburo Makiguchi
