mission statement

I will wake up each day and put on a smile.
I will keep an open-mind.
I may not be big and powerful, but I will make the world a better place by small and simple acts of kindness.
I will always try.
I will remember that there are little eyes out there that are looking for a role model - and I will be a good one.
I will always counteract the bad with twice as much goodness.
I will not turn away from a person in need.
I will be quick to right my wrongs.

I will manage my temper.
I will always remember to count my blessings.
I will strive to be kind to myself, to others, and to Earth.
When I fall, I will pick myself back up and keep climbing.
I will remember always that life is a gift, and there is simply no room to forget that.
