I’m a mathematics teacher but I also strive to be a good student of mathematics. I have learned that mathematics is about truth – seeking truth and sticking to the truth. Being a student of mathematics has shaped how I live my life, how I seek truth. When making decisions, I try not to be swayed by my emotions and predilections, but remind myself to stay objective and critical, always questioning my own assumptions and possible biases. Approaching mathematical truth is approaching truth in nature, and is similar to approaching truth in God. Mathematics has taught me to approach truth with scrupulousness and sincerity, in awe. As I grew to love math, I began to find it beautiful too.

Math is more than mere problem-solving.
