If there is no education that includes Values,

Then children will be void of beliefs and convictions.

If there is no education for Responsibility,

Then children will never accept the consequences for their choices.

If there is no education for Virtue,

Then children will be void of character.

If there is no education for Integrity,

Then children will not be truthful.

If there is no education for Initiative,

Then children will wait to be told what to do.

If there is no education stressing a Positive Mental Attitude,

Then children will develop worst result thinking.

If there is no education for Goal Setting,

Then children will feel bound by their circumstances.

If there is no education for Perseverance,

Then children will not have the courage to keep trying.

If there is no education for Respect,

Then discounting, discarding, and disrespecting will be the norm.

If there is no education for Freedom,

Then education’s greatest gift will be lost.

If there is no Education for Meaning,

Then life will be meaningless!
