Freedom is beautiful. It provides a space within which the most magnificent dreams can be fulfilled. Freedom is also demanding. Because true freedom cannot exist without vigilant responsibility.
Freedom does not release you from being accountable to life. Freedom enables you to give your own special value to the world in which you live.
Living free means accepting and embracing full responsibility for your own life, and for the things that touch your life. It is responsibility that gives freedom its value and keeps freedom alive.
The sweetest fruits of freedom are tasted by those who consistently act with responsibility and integrity. Successfully living free means living with positive purpose, with love, compassion and respect.
Freedom greatly expands life's possibilities and opportunities. It is well worth all the effort and commitment required.
-- Ralph Marston

This is the best, to the point, description of freedom I have ever read. I will distribute a copy to every 5th grader in my school. It will be important to their lives from here on. Next school year they will be entering Middle school, plus reaching the age of receiving more freedom from their parents.
