Write a minimum 100 word mission statement which will guide you as you con+nue the semester.
Mission Statement: Spring Semester 2014 A be^er world is not inherited or discovered, but made... By hands which shape what must be created By eyes which see what must be acknowledged By backs which carry what must be moved By feet which walk to places we must go. To make that world, it must be seen clearly. To see it clearly, I must put aside anything which is false: ra+onaliza+on, delay, vanity, and doubt. Every word, every ac+on, every moment is a chance to build this world or bury it. I will be faithful to it, so that when my daughter asks me one day “What could you have done?” and “What did you do?” I will only have to give one answer.
