Invictus = Unconquerable
GearUp2Lead Academy - Invictus Program
This program is for students who are sick of it and are ready to take responsibility for their education and stop playing school and actually have a plan.
This is for middle school students who are at risk of dropping out of high school by empirical data of Academics, Attendance and Action.
It is also for the 17.5-year-old to 21-year-old students in the GearUpAcademy who are ready to take full responsibility for their education and future.
With a plan to be successful and utilizing a scientific, empirical data strategy the student will plan their work and work their plan.
Welcome to the journey...

Invictus
William Ernest Henley, 1849 - 1903
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

GROWTH MINDSET
EMPATHY
ACTION
RESPONSIBILITY
Growth Mindset:
The belief that we can grow and better ourselves every day and that intelligence, aptitude, and resilience are not something that are fixed at birth. A necessary ingredient of Growth Mindset is a willingness to make the effort required for a life of learning.
Empathy:
Awareness of the feelings and emotions of other people. Empathy goes far beyond sympathy, which might be considered ‘feeling for’ someone. Empathy, instead, is ‘feeling with’ that person, through the use of imagination.
Action:
Doing what’s required to achieve our goals. Sam did not use his Progeria as an excuse for inaction. Instead, he overcame barriers and was an active leader at school and in his community.
Responsibility:
The willingness to take on and fulfill obligations that contribute to the betterment of our community as well as ourselves.
Each GEAR will be defined and explained through real-life examples, as well as discussed and practiced by students through various activities. When used together, these components provide the GEARs that will start the process of building true leaders.
