A Pledge to Myself

      by Mahlet Girma

Today I pledge to be the best possible me
No matter how good I am, I know that I can be better

Today I pledge to build on the work of yesterday
Which will lead me into the rewards of tomorrow

Today I pledge to feed: my mind - knowledge
     my body - strength
     my spirit - faith
Today I pledge to reach new goals, new challenges, and new horizons
Today I pledge to listen to the beat of my drummer
Who leads me onward in search of dreams
