Pride

 

PRIDE

What do men have to be proud of? James has always known pride to be the biggest of sins, but going on a hunting safari might just be what he needed to experience real humility. A pride of lions is a force to be reckoned with. They are free, ferocious, feral. Forever committed to protecting one another. Perhaps humans should take notes.

When James ends up exposed and hunted in the wilderness, he decides he better start. In nature, there is no time to draw comparisons, worry about being masculine enough, or show off whatever power you may think you hold over others. When you hear a roar, you better start running. When you stumble, you better get back up. When the lion catches up to you, you better show you are not a threat.

That pride you thought was well-deserved? That superiority you sharpened like a knife? They’re not weapons you can use. They’re ropes that tie you down. As James forms a strong bond with the others in the lion camp, he realises society has always spun tales about men that no man can live up to.

Now that those rules don’t apply to him anymore, what is left of his identity? Can he roam free by putting behind that sin? And what does being a man truly even mean? James is only sure of one thing... When you enter a lion pride, you leave your own pride behind.

Ron K. Bailey and Beverly W. Bailey:

Adult Educators, Online Pioneers, Philanthropists, and Entrepreneurs

This historiography gave an objective view of how their roles in adult education made life better for their family, friends, employees, and students. It also tells the story of a Viet Nam Era Veteran who used his childhood work, Boy Scouts, Civil Air Patrol, High School Sports, and newspaper carrier experiences to execute a strategic plan. A plan which started with his move from an area with limited education and employment opportunities. Finally, this is also a partial view into the life of Beverly and her role in helping Ron achieve his dream.

With that said, the author believes that it is time for the adult education field to learn more about Ron K. Bailey’s contribution to adult education and online learning. The steps he took to overcome many barriers to rise to the presidency of an accredited university, pioneer online learning initiatives for adult learners, and design programs for working adults are worth sharing with the adult education community. A cornerstone of his adult education programs was providing adult students easy access to technical careers, accredited degrees, or career-changing diplomas.

One factor in Ron’s success at Strayer College was Beverly W. Bailey’s support.
