What is important in my life?  Why? 

Individuals are important in my life, both in my family, in my friend groups, and my students. Their needs are very important to me because everyone has a history and a reason why they think or act a different way. I like to learn about different people and where they have come from, what their interests are, and why they think the way that they do.

How can I improve what I am doing?

By developing my teaching skills and finding my strengths and my weaknesses, I will learn to change, improve, and reflect to become a more effective teacher. Reading more materials on teaching and really researching what I want to learn for efficiency.
