My mission as a teacher...

Brown states that "you are not merely a language teacher. You are much more than that, you are an agent for a change in a world in desperate need of change: change from competition to cooperation, from powerlessness to empowerment, from conflict to resolution, from prejudice to understanding." (1994, p. 442)
