education in paragraph form using the third person pronoun?

If it changes changes into the third person pronoun, the teachers philosophy will seem not his/her
philosophy anymore. Although he/she is the one who creates the said philosophy, if the pronoun use
was in the third person pov, it is still not make any difference. However, talking about the said
philosophy, it can still influence other people depending on how they interpret the message of the
philosophy that would imbeud a great impact on their perspective and lives.

It is sad that "ones philosophy is window or compassion" in life because in every individual belief and
perspectives, there is philosophy adhered and embedded to it. For example, when we are facing
difficulties, problems and challenges in life we are facing, solving and adapting to it through applying
concepts of our philosophy. It is a compass in life as philosophy serves as our guide in dealing with life.
