MIDDLE SCHOOL
Treat others how you want to be Treated
Middle school students are at an age of transition where one event can prime them for success or send them down the road to failure. They may feel self-conscious, unmotivated, or insecure about their looks, grades, personality and family-life. Students often see every day as a challenge they would prefer to avoid. The time to teach advanced methods for overcoming challenges and adversity starts in middle school by introducing challenges that may come later in life and seem overwhelming. Students who learn to see challenges, big or small, as opportunities become more confident with each victory.
Students underestimate the value they bring to society and how important their visions are to the future of the world. Purpose and vision taught to students of all ages puts the reality of their future impact into focus. Working to build the knowledge, strength and diplomacy to fulfill futures so important can overwhelm students. However, under-emphasizing the value of their future contributions does them a dis-service and deprives the next generation the chance to meet their full potential. Setting young adults on the right path, armed with the tools they need to move forward comes naturally to Nick Scott.

FACE CHALLENGES
When faced with a negative situation students often wonder, “Why me?” However, the reality is, “Why not you?” Challenges are gifts bearing opportunities to learn. Problems are the common thread that runs through the lives of most great men and women. Adversity is simply their preparation for greatness. The challenges faced through life bring a greater appreciation of the good times in life. Without the challenge, the victory does not exist.
