[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being selfish is the trademark of rugged American individualism.[/quote]
Actually, you are 100% wrong. Individualism appreciates individuals being being recognized.  [/quote]
Until the recognition of others creates obstacles to achieving one's own selfish, individual goals.[/quote]

As Cardinal Basil Hume once said, proud men cannot live at peace together. I like that our school teaches humility: "Walking in true knowledge of self in relation to God, others and creation; recognizing limitations without losing hope, and accepting gifts without becoming arrogant." You cannot fully embrace that without being willing to acknowledge the accomplishments of others, and similarly having no fear of accepting your own. I appreciate that and other core values that remind us we are not the center of it all, and encourage us to not only put the common good and needs of others first, but also celebrating others and what they bring to our common journey.[/quote]
