WPSU’s This I Believe / Personal Philosophies and Core Values
Tell us the personal philosophy and core values that guide your daily life and hear stories from others.
This I Believe is based on the 1950s radio program of the same name and the media project (launched in 2005) from This I Believe, Inc. and Atlantic Public Media. WPSU invites you, as a central Pennsylvania resident, whatever your background, to speak out.

I believe in change. If you never change anything in your life, things get boring. Change gives you character and keeps you interesting.

I believe in the life-changing potential of good guidance. Every semester I tell my Sociology students: when I rolled the cosmic dice, I found myself a white male born into a middle-class family who raised me in a genuinely Minnesota-nice suburb. All I had to do to become the professor they see in front of them…

I believe in the clock. I believe in the power of the clock. Everything can change in a minute.

I believe in Mario Lemieux. What if I told you that Mario Lemieux’s career stats are 690 goals,1,033 assists…. and 2 saves? You might ask how he has two saves if he was a forward while playing hockey. Well, I’m not talking about the type of saves a goalie makes.

I believe in preserving history. It was a belief a long time in the making.

It's a hot night and my six-year-old’s room doesn't have a fan. Since my husband has a cold and is in the guestroom, Ryan is bunking with me. Truth be told, Ryan ends up in our bed for at least a few hours most nights.

I believe in walking. Every day. I take about 45 minutes every day to walk with Smitty, our family dog, up to a place called the Peace Chapel. The route takes me across the Juniata College campus and through neighborhoods to an expanse of protected land that is wildish.

I believe in writing it all down. Since freshman year of high school I’ve been keeping a journal. It’s a personal account of my life, starting from a point when school dances were life changing, and being caught with your parents in public was life ruining.
