A few moments of silence, as usual, to take a deep breath and receive the calming SPIRIT of life.

“…what has been…that will determine what will be…”

We have already come to the end of the first term… no one can keep “time” from moving… And at the end of each term – we always have the opportunity to look back at what we have experienced so that we can meaningfully look forward to what lies ahead.

This is important… because as we know, “one who does not look at the road travelled, will most likely make the same mistakes and not go very far – and even lose one’s way…”

 

And so – let us take this time to pause and go-over the first term asking significant questions that will help us make the 2^nd term more meaningful.

 

For some moments of silence – let us revisit the first term…

●what were the meaningful moments when you learned something new about yourself and about life…

●what are some regrets – missed opportunities – wrong choices – that were not life-giving for yourself and others

●what could you have done better – if given a second chance…

●what are some principles and convictions that have become clearer and surer about life in general or about relationships in particular

●what are some resolutions for the next term that may help make more meaningful and valuable

 

One goal of Assumption Education is TRANSFORMATION – or change for the better – to contribute to a better world.

Therefore – our brand of education is not just to pass exams and get high marks – but to “make a positive difference” no matter how small.

Success for us is measured by how positive an influence we are in our families, in our communities, and in society.

 

As we begin the second term – let us make a decision to do better – to choose more wisely, more kindly, more gratefully…. And together let us make Assumption Transformative Education happen here and now.
