This I Believe

  • That when we choose to teach we choose to serve
  • That every child is entitled to the best we have to give regardless of his personality,  his mentality, or his situation
  • That we should remember that kindness, consideration and trust are not signs of weakness in a teacher
  • That children are hurt by the same things that hurt us - sarcasm and ridicule
  • That we should not exact a higher standard of punctuality, responsibility or self-control, than we ourselves possess
  • That we have limitless opportunities to touch lives for good
  • That we should treat every child as if he were our own


This quotation was contributed by a former staff member of the Aranguez Junior Secondary School.  It's presently on the facing wall of the staff room, and inspires all visitors on entrance. I do not remember the name, but I find out the name, soon, and give credit where due.  Likewise, be as inspired as you must when you read it.  However, please do not use without permission.  Thanks! :).
