“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Each day I aspire to...
Have the courage to take the personal and professional risks necessary to pursue my dreams
Have the determination to achieve my dreams
Demonstrate integrity with an unyielding commitment to truth and honesty
Have the quiet confidence be who I am, without imposing my beliefs on others
Treat all people with kindness and respect
Enjoy and appreciate each passing moment

The Portrait Project

Each year we ask our classmates a straightforward, simple question taken from the lines of a poem by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Mary Oliver. We share with you intimate and candid responses to this question, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
