Educational Philosophy Assignment

Though my veins runs the blood of my ancestors, who have taught me

to continue on and to never give up. Booker T. Washington “lifted the

veil of ignorance from his people and pointed the way to progress

through education and industry.” I stand on the shoulders of giants,

men and women whose veil of ignorance have been lifted and life

through education has begun. I was told that I would never succeed

because of the color of my skin. Now I am in this profession to let

others know that they can and I am living proof. The most powerful

weapon in life is an educated mind.

As an educator I want to be that voice which helps bridge that gap. I

am going to lead by example that you can come from nothing and be

powerful beyond measure. Through engaging lessons, incorporating

technology, differentiated instruction, and hands on activities and

experiments I am confident that progress will be made.
