The Learner's Creed - Thursday Thirteen 3rd Edition
20070829
My son is learning this poem in school right now. As I was checking to see if he had memorized it, I realized it would make a good T13 entry. I like this poem. I have forgotten how I like poems in this busy business called life with five children and a husband.
- I BELIEVE IN MYSELF
- AND MY ABILITY
- TO DO MY BEST FOR THIS DAY.
- FOR THIS DAY WILL NOT COME ANY MORE.
- I WILL THINK.
- I WILL LISTEN
- I WILL READ
- I WILL WRITE.
- I WILL DO ALL THESE THINGS
- WITH ONE PURPOSE IN MIND:
- TO DO MY BEST,
- AND NOT TO WASTE THIS DAY,
- FOR THIS DAY WILL NOT COME ANY MORE.

It makes an excellent TT contribution. Have a great TT. :)
A nice poem for the kids to learn. It's my very first T13 post and visit. Have a great TT.
Ooh, I love it! I think I'm going to teach it to my kids. We talk a lot about GQ -- which stands for GOAL (the gifted program) Quality, except I've changed it to be Great Quality. Why do only the gifted kids get encouraged to do their best???
Wow....thats awesome:) I love it!
One of my favorite quotes, "The secret of life is don't hold back."
