Here are a few words of wisdom.
Think of someone you know who has real character . . . someone who is
honest, self-disciplined, and respected . . . maybe a parent or a faith leader,
a teacher or a friend.
Did you know that the word character literally means "to engrave"? People
with character have engraved honesty and respectability into their daily
lives . . . like musicians engraving sound tracks on a CD.
So here's something to think about: With every thought, word, and deed, we are recording, engraving the traits and qualities that will determine our
future character. A Greek philosopher by the name of Heraclitus
(her A cli tus) once said:
A man's character is his fate.
In other words, what you are engraving into your life now will determine
your future. As you move through the day, ask yourself: What kind of tracks
am I laying down for myself, and where will they lead me?

Every Wednesday at North all staff are encouraged to wear college apparel to promote college awareness. Students that are aware of opportunities available to them through a college education are mo likely to attend higher education upon graduation. Students are also encouraged to apply themselves at North through self-discipline, grit and persistence, which are strong characteristics for a successful college experience. We at North want to keep students thinking of their future and the importance of a college education.
