​Every human beings who are born to this earth have purpose and mission. Socrates mentions that "Un-examined life is not a life worth-living". Education is a tool to assist human development. Education is a platform for people to nurture their talents, to sharpen their minds, and to find opportunities to climb up the social ladder. Children, however, do not grow up in a vacuum. The parenting style, peers and teachers influence, cultural environment, and family's socio-economic backgrounds are all contributed to how children will grow and perceive the world. I would like to share what I have learned through my academic studies and experiences, particularly: Global Citizenship, Early Childhood Education, and Education for Sustainable Development. Life is a continuous learning process and I believe when we share what we learn, not only others  will benefit but we also gain more insights perspective to improve ourselves.
