Martial Arts
One of the core foundations of my beliefs and my attitudes towards teaching comes from the martial arts, and from Master Hallie Fraser, my mentor and role-model. The lessons she taught me about classroom management, childhood development, and multiple approaches to learning meant more to me than learning forms or sparring. Most of all, she taught me that when you look for the best in people, more often than not they will live up to those expectations. Master Fraser also taught me that you never ask anyone to do anything you yourself are not willing to do. You lead by example, and it's what you do, not what you say, that matters.
