“Today is going to be a good day. I thank God for waking me up today.
I am going to school so I can learn, go to college, and be the leader that God has created me to be.
Today I will be educated by my teachers, empowered by my teachers with the tools to be successful within my community and throughout the country.
I apply myself daily.
I study and I ask questions when I don’t understand.
When I am confronted with a problem or a conflict, I think before I react.
I ignore all negative influences in the classroom and throughout my school day.
I am extremely proud to be the next generation of Christian leaders.
I accept responsibility and I love the challenge.”

My Pledge
I’ve modified it to create my own pledge.
“Today is going to be a good day. I thank God for waking me up today.
I am going to school and church to learn, be empowered, and be the leader that God has created me to be.
Today I will love, learn, engage, and empower to improve my community, my country, and my world.
I apply myself daily.
I study and I ask questions when I don’t understand.
When I am confronted with a problem or a conflict, I think before I react.
I ignore all negative influences throughout my work day.
I am extremely proud to be a family member, help the next generation of college graduates learn, and be a positive influence for the next generation of Christians and the next generation of teachers.
I accept responsibility and I love the challenge.”
