As witnessed in the past, from the violent 60’s to the change as rapidly as the vanishing point on the horizon. A clouding environ- ment can easily influence a wonder- ing mind to liberalize one moment and conservate the next. But what seems to be overlooked today is that the open mind is a questioning mind. It not only weighs the evi- dence at hand, it takes into deliber- ation the opposite before closing off its genius. By involvement, integration and close scutiny, one attitude can evolve from many, thus producing a well-rounded mind. Never should a person shy away from questioning other’s reasons and intentions if the specific picture doesn't focus properly. Today, to surface as a true individual is to struggle through many difficult times. 4

Peering back upon previous decisions, man often times feel as if he has taken the wrong course. By pushing for liberalization of school policies in preceeding dec- ades, has he not created a disen- tigration of morals and standards? He wanted more freedom in the room and less discipline by teachers. The only thing to evolve out of this request, though, has been growing disrespect for authority and the rights of others. Not only must he endeavor to correct this huge error, but he must also be more careful in the selection of his wants and needs. In the future he must be very observant, and be able to see all possible outcomes, so as to avoid any such incident from again occuring. Consequently, he will have no reluctance concerning his prior judgements. 3

There are many ways to measure a man’s success and fortitude, but because of his naivete, man can’t pass beyond the surface to the con- frontations that built his character. The strong individual is one who faces the uncertainies in his path- way to obtain the futuristic ideals he has set. While traveling, he’ll pass frightening episodes; touch upon alarming concepts; undulate between good and evil to find him- self. He who sees his pathway to the future as a fearful journey and as his boldest challenge will survive to be the man of the future; to anticipate the due rewards. The one who cringes at the opportunity to defeat his obstacles will be left an exile even from his mind. The future ranges from man's past, to his present, to his forever; but it will never dominate as man’s ruler. 5
