Diala Weener

As a teacher, my primary mission is to inspire, educate, and empower the next generation. The Love Mandate, “Love the Lord your God… Love your neighbor as yourself,” serves as the cornerstone of my approach to teaching. I strive to create a classroom environment where love and respect for one another are foundational. This means not only fostering a love for learning but also nurturing a sense of compassion, empathy, and kindness among my students. 

The Mission Mandate, “Go and make disciples… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you,” aligns with my role as an educator. I see myself as a guide who equips students with knowledge and critical thinking skills, helping them navigate the complexities of the world. Beyond academic content, I aim to instill a sense of purpose in my students, encouraging them to be lifelong learners who seek truth, justice, and the betterment of humanity. In doing so, I hope to empower them to become leaders and change-makers who make a Godly impact on their communities and the world.

The Image Mandate, “Let us make man in our image… Be fruitful… fill the earth… subdue it… rule over every living creature,” reminds me of the importance of teaching not just knowledge but also values. I endeavor to teach my students the responsibility we have as stewards of the Earth, encouraging them to be conscious and considerate of the world they inherit. I believe that by instilling a sense of respect and care for the places we live in, I can help shape a generation that is committed to preserving and protecting the environment. I strive to create a loving and respectful classroom environment, equip my students with knowledge and purpose, and instill in them a sense of responsibility towards both their fellow humans and the planet. Through education, I believe we can nurture not only intellectual growth but also the development of compassionate, informed, and responsible individuals who can reflect God and make the difference in the world.
