MIRA TRIES EATAT eA CNET HSE ate N SSE RE RES, 3 3} el From the Latin personalis, habitual patterns and qualities of behavior as expressed by physical and mental activities. housands from all over the world visit the Ambas- sador College campuses each year. Many say the atmosphere at Ambassador is the happiest they’ve encountered. “T cannot find words to express it,’ Her Majesty Queen Sirikit of Thailand told Ambassador’s founder, Herbert W. Armstrong, during her visit in 1985. “Maybe the most important value here is that you produce incredible people — people with good qualities.”’ What is it about Ambassador’s people that inspires such comments? Ambassador College was founded on the philosophy that true education develops more than the mind. It develops personality, true culture, poise and emotional maturity. Personality is, by one definition, the inevitable expression of everything a person is — his or her LEARNING TO LOVE and enjoy others — to give of yourself in personal relations — is the basis of a radi- ant personality. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.” DEVELOPING an outgoing interest and warmth for one’s neighbor is a crucia l step toward developing a giv- ing, unselfish, caring personality. character, values, attitudes, emotions and behavior. Am- bassador strives to develop personality to the fullest. Learning to love and enjoy others — to give of yourself in personal relations — is the basis of a radi- ant personality. People don’t develop such unselfish, outgoing con- cern for others by dwelling upon themselves, but by developing and maintaining a sense of purpose outside themselves. ““We-thinking can be nurtured just like me- thinking can,” wrote Michael and Lise Wallach, psy- chologists at Duke University. Ambassador is an ideal environment for nurturing “we-thinking.” Its small enrollment comprises more than 40 nationalities, giving students daily exposure to a worldwide spectrum of people, customs and cultures. Daily life is designed to draw people out of themselves and to stimulate interaction with others. At Ambas- sador, a person develops an appreciation for, rather than an aversion to, individual differences. Ambassador tries to bring out the best in its stu- dents, so they will continually bring out the best in others. One of Herbert W. Armstrong’s favorite sayings was, “You never have a second chance to make a first impression.” Ambassador students and alumni try not only to make a good first impression. They try to make a good lasting impression.0
