FIRST and Success: A Question of Definition

[ChrisH]

Our "Team Vision" goes something like this:

"To be a place where our students can explore their giftings and talents in a professional environment."

In our minds, if a kid finds out they are gifted in an area and pursues it into a career, we have been successful. We don't care if they suspected they were gifted in that area or not. We have had kids discover unexpected talents in Graphic Arts and Pnuematics and had others further develop known gifts for computer programming.

Finding the place in the world God created you for and choosing to be there, is our definition of success in life. Our team is dedicated to helping our students acheive that end. The professional environment means acting in a professional manner. Respecting others in spite of disagreement and maintaining a unity of purpose. Also working with professionals and doing professional grade work wherever possible.


The beauty of FIRST is that it has so many avenues to explore and they all open off of the same square.
