Paul likes Lizfalco’s (2012) educational philosophy:
“Education is best while individuals of a community work cooperatively to promote the holistic development of young humans, such that each scholar feels strengthened to make a commitment to the world in a totally one of a kind way by means of charming his or her personal ability.”

Last but not least, as a forthcoming educationist, Paul believes his logic and lecturing styles may change all through his career and he needs to stay responsive to suggestions and open for betterment.
