L.A. Period 2-3

Pledges


I have heard the seagulls. I have seen the garbage. I am flabbergasted. I am not persiflage, I pledge that I am going to make sure my friends and I pick up after ourselves at lunch and break. Since we are only three people, we will hardly make a dent in the school grounds, I promise that when I am free, I will P.U.G. at least once a month, for points and for out points. I also promise that when I am going out to lunch, I will not run. I promise.
To the school and everyone in it, I promise I will not talk out of turn in class. I pledge not to burst out in giggles in class, especially when the teacher is talking, or another student is talking. I also promise that I will always raise my hand to talk in class. I came here to learn and that is exactly what I’m going to do. I look scornfully on those whom pull pranks on teachers, and vandalize. So, I pledge that I will not be friends or support any person who will consider it. I swear.
Last but absolutely not least; I vow to myself. As I said, I pledge to hang around with a kind, good group of kids (and adults). I will never skip school. I will never take drugs, unless I have my doctors letter. I think physical fights at school are babyish, so I will not get into any! And yet again I pledge to P.U.G.! I pledge.
