My favorite part about teaching at Johnson is: To influence the young people figuring out their purpose in life and to assist them in identifying right approaches to fulfill the purposes.

When I’m not teaching, I love to: Read, travel, cook

In my classes, students can expect: A relaxing and caring community in which everyone has the equal chance to share, learn, and grow together.

My best advice to a new student in my program is: To those who learn a new language: Learning a new language requires time and discipline. Learning by using is the best approach, but rote memorization is not all bad in learning a language. To those who plan to teach Chinese as a foreign language, be empathetic when setting expectations for your students.

Because of my influence, I most want my students to become: Faithful followers of Jesus Christ who is not only the Creator and the Savior, but also the great Teacher.

The myth-busting truth about my discipline I most want people to understand is: Teaching is not about you, but rather all about your students. Teaching does require some skills, but a heart matters the most.

A quote that influences how I live is: Socrates said, “All I know is that I know nothing.” Luke 6:31: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Confucius preached similarly: “Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire.”)
