Description
"Finis Origine Pendet" wrote Manlius: the end depends upon the beginning. True enough. But what if we looked at a desired end to work backward and see what steps we might take to get to that place? What do we want for our children, for our students, and for the graduates of our schools? What do hope to see when we look across our desks at job applicants? What do we watch for on television when candidates for office are explaining their reasons for wanting to serve and what they intend to accomplish if elected? What do we want for the people we love and for those we might not know but whose future prospects will affect our own? My hope for students, regardless of their age, is the same as my hope for my children: full brains, open minds, the ability to read, write, think, and speak clearly, the optimism and service ethic to believe that they can change the world for the better, and the initiative and savoir faire to figure out how to do that. I want them to know when to lead, when to follow, and when to stand against the crowd because the crowd, while often wrong, is seldom uncertain. I want them to treasure their loved ones and treat them well, to know that the troubles they face in life have been faced and overcome (or endured) by others, to be able to be alone without being lonely, and to respect themselves. I want their souls to be full and their bodies to be clean of so-called recreational drugs and excess alcohol. I want them to challenge me, to make their own way through life, and to help others.
