May the words of our Founders’ Charge continue to guide you no matter where life takes you.💙💛
All of life is school; therefore, be in attendance daily.
Choose wisdom, generosity, and kindness as your teachers.
Judge tenderly and be forgiving: everyone else is learning too.
During the leaden hours of loss or failure, ask others for help and help those whose suffering is greater.
During the bright moments of success or celebrity, say thank you and wield power with compassion and humility.
All of life is a journey; therefore, pack lightly and travel broadly.
Choose courage, integrity, and wonder as your companions.
Along the way, unload yourselves of fears and hubris.
Find work that profits your souls and gives you purpose.
Leave each corner of the world better than the way you found it.
Keep your hearts soft and your minds open.
Listen. Ask questions. Be bold. And wed yourselves to joy.
