I also passed the recently Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) Elementary Level last September 25, 2011 with a weighted average of 81.80%. As a teacher, I am optimistic that pupils will discover their real fortes and capabilities as I provide a learning environment that engages their eagerness to discover things, to learn independently, to be a scientific and critical thinker, and to trust their personal opinions while fostering solidarity among their classmates. I realize how vital education is as the foundation of the young people to achieve success in all undertakings set before them. This is why my greatest goal is to educate young people and help them blossom into well-rounded, responsible and successful citizen. I believe that my instructional abilities combined with my work ethics, skills, and strong devotion to educate children would greatly benefit the educational programs of your district.
