What does it mean to be part of Team WILD? Here are the four pillars of the WILD ethos:

• W is for “Wellness." Wellness is made up of four important parts: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Being “well” means having full integrity in each of these four parts.

• I is for “Inspiration." This means that we work hard to be an inspiration to others and provide them with encouragement and positivity.

• L is for “Learning.” Being a lifelong learner is one of the ways we help maintain our wellness and it is important to try our best to learn new things and to learn from our mistakes.

• D is for “Determination.” If at first you don't succeed, you don't give up. Being determined means saying “NO” to quitting and following through to always do your best. Determination often leads to learning new things, inspiring others, and being well.
