I Pledge..

Over the break, our Year Up staff went on a retreat and signed a pledge to reassure their commitment of providing knowledge and support to the students and to ultimately help close the opportunity divide. In class, we discussed the concept of a pledge and agreed to create and sign a pledge for ourselves, being a Year Up student.

I, Lisa Zhuo, pledge to succeed at every task given to me by remaining focused on my work, using my resources to help me find the answers to any questions I may have and show that I am committed by being prepared to learn and doing everything on time.

I pledge to be a good role model by setting a good example of never giving up on yourself and help encourage and support others throughout their struggles and life journey.

I pledge to graduate with the confidence of knowing that I can achieve any goal I have set for myself by continuing to take on any opportunity available to me, believing in myself and working extra hard to get where I need to be.
