Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at how the decisions students make today can shape the people they become five, 10 or even 20 years down the road. Ford shares advice on building habits that last, keeping commitments, maintaining personal integrity, taking care of physical and mental health and learning from mistakes. From doing the right thing when no one is watching to understanding that personal growth does not require perfection, Ford encourages students to remain curious, embrace change and develop the character needed to succeed in college and beyond. He also emphasizes the importance of servant leadership, personal responsibility and becoming someone others can trust.
