Students can easily accept responsibility – they see themselves as primarily responsible for their outcomes and experiences. They are self-motivated, they find purpose in what they do by discovering personally meaningful goals and dreams. Students are good in self-management; they plan and take action in pursuit of their goals and dreams. They are interdependent, they build mutually supportive relationship that help them achieve their goals. Students consciously think, believe, and behave in ways that keep them on course. They believe in Life-Long Learning, look for lessons in all of their experiences. Students see themselves as a capable, lovable, and unconditionally worthy human being.
