A Learner's Creed

I am a student.
I am here to learn.
I believe in myself and my abilities.
I know that it will not always be easy.
But I am not alone.
I am part of a community of learners.
My teacher, my parents, and my classmates are all part of that community.
I will do what is needed to learn.
I will take responsibility for my work.
I will actively listen to other people's questions and thoughts.
I will share my thoughts and insights when appropriate.
I will think.
I will reason.
I will read.
I will write.
I will genuinely attempt to answer every question and solve every problem.
I know that our community of learners is always there to support me.
I know that the teacher will help me master the subject.
I will help my classmates when they have questions.
I will make the most of the opportunities to learn every day.
Together, our community will succeed and grow.
