Learner’s Creed

 “I believe in myself and my ability to do my best at all times.

Just for today:

I will listen,

I will speak,

I will feel,

I will think,

I will read,

I will write!

I will do all of these things with one purpose in mind:

To do my best, and to not waste this day, for this day will come no more.
