Teaching
I am a firm believer that education is not a mold, but rather an enhancement. It is not my job as an instructor to simply tell a student how to behave or how to fit into the current society. I have always felt that it is my job to equip each and every one of my students with the ability to better function in society with more powerful minds and a more enlightened way of thinking. Thinking outside of the box will be a requirement in coming years for anyone to succeed, and I strongly believe that each student needs to understand rather than memorize.
