From the Paper:

"Educators owe it to their students to work hard at transforming their weaknesses into strengths, and for me, the greatest challenge is transforming verbal and linguistic weakness into strength. What is invigorating is that change is always possible and that change can be rapid once one finds something to passionately change for. The opportunity to excel in education and assist students in getting to their goals and the chance to do work I chose not for the paycheck but for the passion of instructing others will make the effort required worth it. To pursue an education as a profession requires a balanced set of skills, and I am encouraged by the fact that every educator enters the profession with a different skill set. Each has their strengths and weaknesses, and many have been able to turn their weaknesses into strengths. I am confident I will be able to do the same with a consistent effort made daily to improve in verbal and linguistic skills."
