STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

In a classic "Peanuts" cartoon, Charlie Brown emerges from his house when the sun is rising and queries, "Why do I always have to go looking for people? Today, I'm going to sit here and wait for somebody to come see me." The cartoon continues through the remaining panels with Charlie Brown sitting patiently on the front step of his house, while the sun gradually sinks throughout the course of the day. In the final panel, Charlie Brown is sitting there alone at night, and he is emitting the familiar, "Sigh".
