MATH, LIFE AND MEANING

In 2017, Life has led me to the Path, where I was blessed with an opportunity of taking a year off.

RELATIONSHIPS AND AWARENESS

THE KEY FACTORS TO HOLISTIC EDUCATION That brings me to my next important point. When you see someone eating an apple, do you really see only apple?

THE STUDENTS OF DIFFERENT ABILITIES

SUCCESS VS. FULFILLMENT Factors that influence teachers’ relocation include school location, salary and schooling of their children, to name a few.
