II. Write your own Philosophy in Teaching by answering the following questions. (30 points)

1. What is education and what it ought to be? What are its aims or purposes?

- Education is a systematic process by which a child or an adult gains knowledge, experience, skill, and a positive attitude. It civilizes, refines,
cultures, and educates an individual. The major objective of education is to provide people with the chance to acquire knowledge and skills
that will allow them to reach their full potential and become effective members of society.

2. How does education contribute to a good and meaningful life?

- Education contributes to a person's meaningful life by allowing them to gain information. They now have a better understanding of the world
and can define what our goal in life is. The knowledge we gain from the educational system cannot be taken away from us because it lives on
in our brains and hearts.

3. What does it mean to be a good teacher or educator?

- Communication, listening, teamwork, adaptation, empathy, and patience are some of the attributes of a successful teacher. Other aspects of
excellent teaching include an engaging classroom presence, a value in real-world learning, the exchange of best practices, and a lifetime
passion of learning. But, for me, being a good teacher means being a good role model to the students and being able to teach them a life
lesson that will help them survive in the real world.
