Excellence
There is a fine line between achieving good and achieving greatness. Excellence is declaring
that mediocrity is not satisfying enough and that being the best in everything is always the goal,
no matter what it takes.

Accountability
Taking ownership for one’s actions and decisions is never easy but is a courageous act of taking
responsibility despite what the consequences may be.
Discipline

Discipline
Is simply doing what you normally do not want or like to do but you do it anyway to the best of
your abilities because it is called for.

Empathy
The ability to emotionally understand what other people feel, see things from their point of view,
and imagine yourself in their place. Not being quick to judge but to think first of the other person
and what they are going through.

Respect
Showing honor and care about another’s thoughts and feelings. It is the acceptance and
understanding of another person’s views and decisions and co-existing peacefully with those
differences despite disagreements.

Service-Oriented
Recognizing that others may have needs and making oneself available to service those needs
even when it is not expected or expressed. The service is given free will and nothing is
expected in return.

Humility
Openness to correction, acceptance, and an unboastful countenance as we relate with others
around us. It is a self-awareness that others may know more than us and we can learn from
them.

Integrity
Comes from the root word “integer” which means one. Integrity means you are one and the
same person in any situation and will make the same decisions even when no one else sees
you. It is honesty and moral uprightness at any time and in any situation.

Perseverance
Unwavering desire to achieve a purpose or objective and not giving up until the goal is achieved
finding creative and out of the box solutions to reaching the finish line.
