I Promise to:
Honor my parents and those to whom wisdom
has come through experience,
Respect the beliefs of others,
Prize friendship and keep its sacred trust,
Seek intellectual growth, physical development
and avoid abuse of mind and body,
Be diligent and give each task the priority it
merits,
Strive to be courteous at all times and truthful
with everyone I meet,
Practice thrift and put material matters in
proper perspective,
Respect all living things and help maintain
the balance of life,
Work to preserve our form of government
and the freedoms it guarantees.
I will value independence of mind and
develop self-reliance, setting high goals
in life and dedicating myself to the service
of others.
