The Pupil's Pledge

The Pupil's Pledge

​

I am a member of the world family.

I am related to those who stand next to me...

By the air we breathe...

By the light we share...

By the hope we have for a better world.

I have a responsibility to give... to receive,

To be open, tolerant, free.

I have inherited this world from those who have lived before.

I occupy space and time for only  a few short years.

I hold this world in trust for those who will follow.

My life,-with others,- can help fashion this world

Towards peace rather than strife...

Hope, rather than despair...

Freedom rather than slavery.

I, with those around me,

Can make the unity of humanity a living thing.

I will plan my pathway towards success.

I will not be afraid, because I am unique...

I am confident and courageous.

And greatness lies within me.

As I develop my full potential,

I will always remember to show loving concern for those around me.

The world is waiting for me.

By reaching out and getting involved,

I will make a difference!

I pledge my willing spirit to this thought.

Let us do this together.
