“Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge ; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.” — John Locke
My Philosophy
In Walden, Henry David Thoreau wrote, “Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.” Rather than limit learning to the classroom or a period of one’s life, Thoreau advocated for the continual pursuit of enlightenment, a task which he believed would create better human beings.
It is with this same conviction that I hope to bring the treasures of knowledge to students, providing them the chance to discover a new passion, a different perspective or unexpected path. Life is not separate from education; we experience daily opportunities to climb our own intellectual mountains. It is through communicating our knowledge and passions that we connect with one another and open doors for further exploration.
It is my hope that by living my passion I might inspire a younger generation to a similar journey — together we lay foundations for our own noble villages.
