I believe education is the right of every person.
I believe the future depends on mutual understanding and cooperation among business, industry, labor religious, family and educational institutions, as well as people around the world. I agree to do my utmost to bring about understanding and cooperation among all of these groups.
I believe every person should prepare for a useful occupation and carry on that occupation in a manner that brings the greatest good to the greatest number.
I believe every person should actively work towards improving social, political, community and family life.
I believe every person has the right to earn a living at a useful occupation and that this right should not be denied because of race, color, sex, or handicap.
I believe every person should take a responsibility for carrying out assigned tasks in a manner that brings credit to self, associates, school and community.
I believe I have the responsibility to work efficiently and to think clearly. I promise to use my abilities to make the world a better place for everyone.
