THE EDUCATIONAL PLEDGE
I pledge to maintain a
Healthy Mind and Body
Staying away from the Evil of drugs
I pledge always to try my best to understand
The importance of Knowledge and Education
I pledge to paint a positive picture of where
I plan to be tomorrow
Not allowing obstacles to stop the growth of my Plans
I pledge to seek Answers to Questions
With the Harmony and Understanding that they
Will lead to other discoveries
I pledge to work diligently
With the Awareness and Confidence
That hard work today will serve
As the seeds for my strong Tree tomorrow
A Tree that no one will be able to tear down
I pledge to learn proper languages
Beginning with my Mother’s
Always prepared to appreciate others
I pledge to gain a better understanding of who I am
By understanding my Cultural roots
To fully accept who
I am as a Spiritual and Human being
A Rainbow of many Cultures and Colors
I pledge to overcome any personal misfortunes
Becoming
Stronger from such misfortunes
Always striving to become
A compassionate and wise person.
