The Eagle has the longest life-span of it's species
It can live up to 70 years
But to reach this age, the eagle must make a hard decision
In it's 40th year its long and flexible talons can no longer grab prey which serves as food
Its long and sharp beak becomes bent
It's old-aged and heavy wings, due to their thick feathers, stick to it's chest & make it difficult to fly
Then, the eagle is left with only two options: DIE or go through a painful process of CHANGE which lasts 150 days
The process requires that the eagle fly to a mountain top and sit on it's nest
There the eagle knocks it's beak against a rock until it plucks it out
Then the eagle will wait for a new beak to grow back and then it will pluck out it's talons
When it's new talons grow back, the eagle starts plucking it's old-aged feathers
And after 5 months, The eagle takes its famous flight of rebirth and lives for 30 more years
Why is change needed? Many times, in order to survive we have to start a change process. We sometimes need to get rid of old memories, habits and other past traditions. Only freed from past burdens, can we take advantage of the present. When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at will change. Here at SWFC we are changing people lives, it starts with admissions. We are the first contact so question is: “What would your life be like if you had not met that person?” So, what would our prospective students life be like if they had not met admission rep? Like the Eagle, our students have to get rid of old habits, negative people, trials, tribulations and change their mindset in order to prosper. The Eagle is a symbol for freedom. You’re in this admission job to bring freedom to others out there who are hurting financially, physically, emotionally and otherwise.
