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.
