My goal and mission as a Board of Director is to be fully dedicated by helping children reach their full potentials in education.  My philosophy is I don't simply teach the content subjects, I teach students socially, mentally, and academically.  I believe the school, parents, and community should share the responsibility for providing a positive school environment.  Additionally, I believe in diversity among all people.  Lastly, I'm willing to help others to achieve their goals in life to become successful citizens in a global society.
