    The American youth of WWII have been called the greatest generation because they emerged triumphant—yet that same bright generation in Germany were led astray and utterly wasted. History cycles through generations and those who don’t know the patterns are condemned to repeat them. In the coming crisis of our day, will you become the heroes who lead out or the followers who shrink back and become absorbed into the collective?

    For those who enjoy writing or for those who don’t, this concrete method of teaching and learning stylistic variety will seem almost like magic.  Useful at the elementary level and equally useful for the university student, this approach to sentence pattern mastery is powerful!  Likely you’ll ask, “Why didn’t I learn this when I was in school?”  The words “writing style” will take on a whole new dimension.

    One definition of leadership is that the leader is simply the best in any field.  To be the best, we must be willing to submit ourselves to living a lifestyle of greatness.  If we really want greatness, lets PROVE IT!

    ACT test, college admissions, scholarships, academic and leadership camps, and Prom,  versus classics, scholar phase, mission, simulations and Formal Ball.  It seems as if a line has been drawn in the sand.  Choose one side or the other.  If you go to Prom you’re labeled a “teenager” or if you choose not to get a high school diploma you are not college bound and have no future.  Right?  Wrong.   A true leader creates his or her own success and doesn’t follow any type of conveyor belt thinking.
