From this day forward, I sincerely promise,
I will seek to be a better scholar.
I will pursue my academics with a passion for excellence
and practical strategies for improvement.
I will always be a positive example for all other students to follow.
I shall never do anything that would bring
disgrace or dishonor upon
my school, my community, the Upward Bound program,
my parents and family, or me.
My education will be my first priority
and my planning for college
will be uppermost in my thoughts and actions.
These pledges I will honor and respect
in a manner that will reflect credit upon them and ultimate success for me.
I commit to these principles
as an Upward Bound student
and future college scholar
