I will do whatever it takes to help my team, my school. and myself become the best we can be. I will not disobey the Word of Wisdom by taking supplements such as caffeine, coffee, or drugs. I do not complain and I do not swear. I will rise to any challenge, and get back up every time I fall. I know that it will hurt, but I know it will be worth it. The reward is greater than the pain I will face. I have my family's support, and they are why I run. I will do the hard work to be the best. Give it all to be one of the few.
