I Believe

I don't want to post about what I am truly thinking about - because it depresses me, so I thought I would repost about creeds.

In October, I wrote that I wanted to do a lesson about creeds.

Today Ms. Chili posted about the Urban Prep Academy in Chicago and listed theirs:

The Urban Prep Creed
We believe.
We are the young men of Urban Prep.
We are college bound.
We are exceptional-not because we say it, but because we work hard at it.
We will not falter in the face of any obstacle placed before us.
We are dedicated, committed and focused.
We never succumb to mediocrity, uncertainty or fear.
We never fail because we never give up.
We make no excuses.
We choose to live honestly, nonviolently and honorably.
We respect ourselves and, in doing so, respect all people.
We have a future for which we are accountable.
We have a responsibility to our families, community and world.
We are our brothers’ keepers.
We believe in ourselves.
We believe in each other.
We believe in Urban Prep.
WE BELIEVE.

I think it is time to address this.
