As I got older, I learned more about what it meant to be a broadcast journalist, and began to understand the hard work and dedication that goes into making Continue reading...

Academic challenges must be met with an open mind while remaining grounded in intense discipline and focus. Three and a half years ago I came to the United States hardly speaking any English. I enrolled in my local high school in New York City where I was exposed to many people of diverse backgrounds. Initially, school was very difficult.

My academic specialization is fuzzy logic, which isn’t logic that is fuzzy, but a worldview and method of thinking which is capable of coping with the world’s diversity. Traditional bivalent thinking, the belief that a proposition has only one truth value is, according to philosopher Mario Bunge, “primitive and inconsistent with how the social world is organized” (Winter, 2014). Most social phenomenon, including teaching, is not black and white, true or false, but full of interesting grey variables. I experience this when I’m teaching, because every student is different. My personal educational philosophy revolves around inclusion, Continue reading...
