Adults and young people can take a journey of self-discovery by creating
a Life Statement. In keeping with the tradition in some cultures of writing an ethical will – which, instead of passing along valuables, passes along values – a Life Statement is a way to explore who you are, your relationships with others, and your impact on the world. Using our simple templates, you can create and permanently record a Life Statement that shares your most significant life experiences, ideas, values, and hopes. It's a blueprint for living and a gift to others as part of a meaningful online learning community. more |
