6. Tiger Pride: What We Instill
Toughness – I have the heart of a champion, always pressing forward.  I am strong and determined.  I will finish every task I start, even when it seems impossible. 
 Independence – I am the captain of my destiny. The decisions I make will determine my outcome.  I will not allow anyone to take that power away from me.
Generosity – I must give back. It is my duty to help others whenever I can. Giving back is reasonable repayment for all that I have been given.
Education – Knowledge is my passport to the future. Without a good education, I understand that my options are limited.  I want to achieve great things. I will ALWAYS do my best in school.
Respect – This is the number one rule: I will respect my parents, teachers, coaches and teammates.  I will respect myself by having pride and always working hard at everything I do.
