When applying for a school for my 18 month old son, they asked "What expectations do you have for him once he graduates?" we wrote...

Our hope for Noah, once he graduates are the same as our hopes for him every day of his life.

That we can give him…

1. Enough freedom to imagine great things for himself and others

2. Enough discipline to have grit, determination, respect, and honor

3. Enough context to make informed decisions

4. Enough reasoning to perform good actions

5. Enough tools to positively affect the world based on his vision

6. Enough balance and perspective to know how to be in the moment and find contentment

Beyond that - we have no expectations to place on his shoulders other than those he would have for himself.
