Each student possesses a unique learning style. I should value each child's singular abilities and encourage each to reach his or her fullest potential.
This poem reflects my educational philosophy:
Thumbprint
In the
heel of my thumb
are
whorls, whirls, wheels,
in a
unique design:
mine
alone.
What
a treasure to own!
My own
flesh, my own feelings.
No other,
however grand or base,
can
ever contain the same.
My signature,
thumbing
the pages of my time.
My universe
key,
my singularity.
Impress,
implant,
I am
myself,
all
of my atom parts I am the sum.
And
out of my blood and my brain
I make
my interior weather,
my own
sun and rain.
Imprint
my mark upon the world,
whatever
I shall become.
