My Motto
My Motto
Bronzeville elementary children learned and performed this motto at Hartigan School and Depaul University during my term of teaching (1966-2001). God gave it to the children to inspire them, but they inspired parents and staff alike!
I can learn.......I will learn.........I must learn!!!!!
My mind is my tool........
It will work for me, so that I can become the best me
that I was born to be!!!!!
I can learn! I will learn! I must learn!!!!
My mind has curiosity.
It makes me want to know more about life.
My mind is hungry for knowledge.
It’s up to me to feed information to my mind
to keep it in tip-top shape!!!!!!!!
I can reach my fullest potential.
I will listen to learn new ideas.
What I don’t understand, I will inquire and ask questions
until I do understand.
Learning will make me intelligent, respected and happy.
Learning will make me independent and rich in the future.
I will share my God-given talents with this society
one day.
This is my intention, my vision and my goal.
These are my rules for my success.
It takes education to bring out my talents,
my abilities and my character.
Through the three keys of .........
determination.......
patience........
and confidence.........

If it is to be..........
It is up to me!!!!!!
