EXPECTATIONS:
When you want to learn, I believe having the right attitude is most important. Know that I spend many
hours to make your lessons and be respectful. Know that your classmates want the same things in life
as you...happiness, friendship, success. Be kind. Know that you yourself are here because you are
intelligent and hard working. Respect yourself and your future too.
I believe deeply in the concept of Hominis Dignitati, 「人間の尊厳のため」and in the Golden Rule-
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” 「あなたが人にしてもらいたいようにあなたも人にしな
さい」.
I hope while you are at Nanzan, you will take time to explore, really, what those words mean.
You will lead a happier life all of your days by your efforts.
Our school has a powerful reputation…it’s a place that students every year fight to enter. Our
reputation grew because your sempai understood the kind of things I have been writing about. They
knew how to lift up themselves and each other. I look forward to seeing you continue their great
tradition. I hope you never forget that you are standing on their shoulders.
