=Philosophy of Education=

I had the distinct pleasure of hearing Jim Tressel (The Ohio State University) speak a number of times. Also, like many, I have read his best selling book, "The Winner's Guide." From these experiences and opportunities I have gleaned what I believe to be my purpose in life which is reflected in my Philosophy of Education. Tressel once said that he was "Blessed to come to Ohio State with a great tradition, great facilities and great athletes. If Ohio State is not better when I leave here than it was when I arrived then shame on me." This is something that he refers to as Pay Forward (stolen from Woody Hayes).

I feel much the same way regarding education. I graduated from a fine educational institution. Many scholars who came before me in the field of education helped to create an environment more conducive to learning. Many of my teachers had a positive impact on my life. Like Tressel, I to want to give back by improving the future. Everyday I wake up I have one goal in mind and this is to make this day in education better than the previous one. If the state of education is no better when I leave it than it was when I arrived - then shame on me!
