“The purpose of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Redirecting And Winning!
It is time to get RAW!
There was a time when common courtesy was common, being respectful to authority and parents was automatic, and using foul language made you the exception, not the rule. We live in a much different time! However, common courtesy, being respectful, and speaking with language that may not be as colorful as your peers' does not make you weird or boring. You don't have to become a person that you are not just to "fit in." There are many benefits in doing what is right simply because it is right. If you feel alone or different because you don't allow yourself to be controlled by group think, don't! Be the critical thinker that you are. There are many others just like you! You only need a platform that allows you to connect with others that are like you, and this platform was created for just this reason. We're excited about you! It is time to turn back to a better way! It is time to redirect our lives back to greatness, back to standards, back to winning!
R.A.W.! Redirecting And Winning was created with you in mind. All ages are welcome! We believe that having morals, values, and godly principles are still relevant, especially in today's world. We believe that when we are reminded to respect and value God first and then ourselves, then we are more equipped to do the same for others. Let's get back to basics! Reverencing God, family, and our fellow man can once again become the order of the day.
Let's challenge each other to not only do and be better, but to be our best!
Let's get R.A.W!
