Project 2019 Presents Lilly Institute for Family Education L.I.F.E Gift of the Nile CO-PARENTING RESOLUTION ASSISTANT TRAINING My (7) seven promises can be the real ticket to your success story. When I initially started out on my career as an educator I realized that I was not only a trained Master Teacher, but also an advocate for families with challenged infants and toddlers. Who were experiencing crises in their lives? I promised my self that I would serve families in the urban communities as well as across the Diaspora. This was primarily due to the fact that I myself had been a victim, at the young age of (2) two years old my mother past away. My father soon made his transition. I became an orphan at the age of (10) ten years old. Theses were the promises that I made to myself. #! Promise: I will always pursue work that is in my passion, The Family! #2.Promise: I will apply my energies toward a good cause at all times. #3. Promise: I will create a pathway toward my goals each day. #4.Promise I will commit my work to excellent in education each day. #5. I Promise to do all things through Christ Jesus, my Elder Brother who strengthen me. #6. I Promise to use my tongue to speak life over my situation on every occasion. #7. I promise to collaborate with my higher Self and to cooperatively work with the God Head who lives inside of me.
