Mission Label:

Mission

My mission for not only my current classes, but whenever I step 
into a classroom, is to instill in my students the same desire for 
learning that I have.  The social sciences are, to me, like a series 
of recipe cards.  Each event that has been recorded in the annuls of 
history has come to pass through intriguing people, fascinating 
places and a complex string of events, much like the ingredients to a 
recipe.  The beauty of social studies is that whichever era you want 
to explore, whatever historical figure intrigues you, whichever 
issue you are itching to debate, everything is related.  From 
Mesopotamia to the "March on Washington," there is an infinite wealth 
of knowledge to gain.

How do we get there?  I cannot deceive you.  I expect a lot out 
of my students.  Someone once said, "If you aren't growing, you're 
dead."  I expect my students to subscribe to a personal standard of 
excellence that pushes them to exercise maximum effort.  No 
championship team, no U.S. President, no one who has ever truly 
succeeded in life has done so without pushing themselves and growing 
in the process.  What better time to grow than high school?  If my 
students are willing to put forth solid effort, they will not only 
succeed in my class, but they will learn to be successful in life!
