Faculty A teacher cannot make a student learn; that is the student’s choice. A teacher must open the door to the learning process by demonstrating, through a positive attitude, that he believes in what he is teaching. This positive attitude, in turn, will motivate students. The teaching profession is “based on the beliefs that everyone can learn and that everyone is born with an urge to learn which can be nurtured . . Fermi’s teachers, who respect this philosophy and realize the importance of it, will be successful in affecting students. Hard work, dedication, and effective communication are all methods by which teachers can encourage students to learn. According to Kahlil Gibran, “If he is indeed wise, he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.’’ If a teacher is successful, his students will pass through this threshold and enjoy a lifelong learning process. We, the class of 1984, would like to thank those teachers who encourage students to make the choice to learn. mmi I’M YOUR HOMEROOM TEACHER! 17
