8th Grade Commitment Creed

I would be true, for there are those who trust me.

I would be pure, for there are those who care.

I would be strong, for there is much to suffer.

I would be brave, for there is much to dare.

I would be friend to all, the foe, the friendless.

I would be giving, and forget the gift.

I would be humble, for I know my weakness.

I would look up, and laugh, and love and lift.
