    It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
    Children are our future, and as educators, our work directly influences the future of our world, economy, and technological advancements. How much we focus on a child's growth and skills will impact their desire to dream big and achieve those dreams. So, what is education? Education is future-oriented; it is about development and growth, even when we study the past. Who is an educator? An educator is more than someone who teaches a child how to read and write. An educator upholds standards and principles by which they live. They do everything possible to ensure a child reaches their full potential. An educator cares about a child's development both inside and outside the classroom. They strive to learn new teaching strategies and stay informed about medical disabilities that may hinder a child's learning and success.
