Some of these are my own, some drafted by Beacon Hill Classical Academy Camarillo, CA and others adapted from Matt Whitling/ Logos School, Moscow, ID.

Adaptation of Mike Rowe’s S.W.E.A.T. Pledge. (Skills and work ethic aren’t taboo)

1. I believe that I have won the greatest lottery of all time. I am alive. I walk the Earth. I live in America. I live close to the beach. What’s more – I have the good news of the gospel at my fingertips. Above all things, I am grateful. (When tempted to complain students – literally give thanks for specific things instead.)

2. I believe that I have been given what I do not deserve. Daily grace and mercy. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nothing more. I also understand that “happiness” and the pursuit of happiness are not the same thing.

3. I believe there is no such thing as a “bad job.” I believe that all jobs are opportunities, and it’s up to me to make the best of them.

4. I do not “follow my passion,” I bring it with me. I believe that any job can be done with passion and enthusiasm.

5. I deplore debt and do all I can to avoid it. I would rather live in a tent and eat beans than borrow money to pay for a lifestyle I can’t afford.

6. I believe that my safety is my responsibility. I understand that being in “compliance” does not necessarily mean I’m out of danger.

7. I believe the best way to distinguish myself at work is to show up early, stay late, and cheerfully volunteer for every lame task there is.

8. I believe the most annoying sounds in the world are whining and complaining. I will repent and ask forgiveness when I grumble. If I am unhappy in my work, I will either find a new job or find a way to be happy.

9. I believe that my education is my responsibility and absolutely critical to my success. I am resolved to learn as much as I can from whatever source is available to me. I will never stop learning and understand that library cards are free.

10. I believe that ultimately I am a product of my choices – not my circumstances – or other people doing me wrong. I will not blame anyone for my shortcomings or the challenges I face. And I will not accept the credit for something I didn’t do.

11. I understand the world is not fair, and I’m okay with that. I do not resent the success of others.

12. I believe that all people are created equal. I also believe that all people make choices. Some choose to be lazy. Some choose to sleep in. I choose to work very, very hard. *If you do these things – even imperfectly but consistently, you will always be in demand and you will be a person of great honor and respect before adults.
