I will with confidence strive to speak, read, write and think above my level, so that I may grow

ESOL levels to exit out of ESOL. I will speak life and hope into my life and others. I believe

everyone is capable of achieving excellence , and is capable of going to college. Therefore I will act

like a college student starting today.Class Motto

Today I choose to overcome adversity. By working harder and respecting my peers and school. I will with confidence take Viking pride in myself and

education; to achieve my goals, and become whatever I set my mind to. I KNOW the

ANSWER, I am and will be the SOLUTION!
