At Life School it is our hope that all stakeholders embrace a standard of excellence.  If we are all at our best the impossible can be made possible.  All of us must do our part to invest a standard of excellence into the lives of the students at Life School.  As members of the Life School family we must start emphasizing excellence within our students at an early age so as they grow older they will know what their standard is.

We must ensure that we emphasize excellence through our example, through adversity, and with love.

The example that we set with our children is paramount.  We all set the tone for them at an early age.  No single person has a larger influence on children besides the primary caregiver.  If we set the example high for our children they will work hard to reach the example that has been set for them.

We must also emphasize excellence through adversity.  We all know that tough times will come.  When adversity comes we have to show our children that we can still be excellent.  I have often said that adversity reveals who we really are.  If we have strong character and a standard of excellence even in tough times people will always know who we really are.

Finally we must emphasize excellence with love.  Even when your children do not reach your standard of excellence you must pour love into their lives.  We must always correct when needed, but it must always be in love.

Never forget the importance of excellence as we continue to build leadership in all of our Life School students.
