Fairness - A Balance of Power

Life deals everyone a different set of cards. It’s what we do with those cards that makes the difference.

FAIRNESS will motivate your students to take responsibility for their choices. Students will discover that true happiness comes from how they handle the adversity they encounter and how they view the unfairness of life. FAIRNESS will motivate students to reach for their dreams, while, along the way, helping those around them to do the same.

HONESTY will motivate your students to develop a deeper sense of honesty with others and themselves. This video will encourage them to choose to be responsible for their own actions, and to be straightforward and honest with those around them in a positive respectful manner, in order to become a person everyone can trust.. 24-minute program

Citizenship - Real Change Starts with You

We have become a generation of backseat drivers. To complain feels natural ; to be disrespectful - to criticize, a birthright. These apathetic, confrontational, or overall nit-picky attitudes bully others into our way of thinking. And over time, these attitudes can divide people, bring them down - make them unsuspecting carriers of this infectious disease. Students will be encouraged to be the best they can be at all times and in every situation. Instead of pointing out the deficiencies and differences of others, they will recognize the power that comes from changing themselves. Students will see that when they respect others and work to change themselves, those around them will be positively affected. 30-minute program

A Cry for Love - Self-Acceptance

Independence Day - Goal Setting

It's My Responsibility - Accepting Responsibility

Responsibility is our ability to choose; our ability to respond appropriately when making decisions. Making the responsible choice isn't always easy. Everyone likes to have fun, but too often the fun choices in life are in direct conflict with the responsible choices. Too many students are driven by the "if it feels good, let's do it" method of decision making. Responsibility will enforce the idea that we are responsible for the choices we make. There are consequences to our decisions. Students will discover that their choices affect who they are, what they will become, and how others view them. Students will learn that the power to choose for ourselves comes as we mature and become capable of making the right choices. 30-minute program

Perseverance - Commitment to Excellence

Failure can be used as an excuse to give up - to drop out - to quit, it can lead to a low self-confidence, leaving students looking for other ways to appear greater than they feel. This false sense of greatness is often sought through bullying or by giving in to the pressure to smoke, drink, or use drugs in a desperate attempt to feel connected to a group. Perseverance will encourage students to view failure as a natural part of success, and help them to see that excellence, in all areas of life, is possible when they view themselves as being worth the effort. 28-minute program

Respect - Earning Respect Through Integrity and Trust

Teens will discover that respect isn't something you just get, it's something that you earn. Too many believe that we can earn respect by looking tough, smoking, spending a lot of money, or by using illegal drugs. Others attempt to gain respect with force by lying, cheating, or bullying. Respect is a by-product of how we live our lives each day, how we react to crisis, and how we treat others and ourselves. The quest to get respect can either lead us to a high standard, bringing out the best we can be, or take us down into the abyss of negative activities and thoughts. 24-minute program

Special Edition - Self-Worth

A "Special Edition" is a distinct, unique, and exceptional version, and each of us are special in our own ways. Believing that, however, is often difficult.
