Character Education Must Include A Focus On College Promotion 

In order to be successful in school and life, students MUST have goals, dreams, and plans for the future. Honestly, most children have no idea why they are in school - they simply think that they have to go because we adults make them go! Yet, even from a very young age, kids need to "want" to go to school and they must enjoy the process of learning because it meets their own academic and emotional needs. When students go to school each day only because we adults make them go, their education will lack personal relevance or meaning. These students without an innate desire or passion to learn will always grossly underperform and take the path of academic least resistance. However, when kids have a connection to the real world and to personal career goals and dreams (no matter whether they want to attend trade, vocational, junior, community, or 4 year college) – students will then:   

• do better academically
• behave better in school
• make better life related choices
• choose healthier friendships
• have healthier self-esteems
• become life-long independent learners
• and be more passionate about the future
