I Am Somebody – Sophia

Sophia’s pledge to herself and the universe, to be proclaimed every morning this school year.

She is somebody.

I am somebody.

God is always with me. Always.

My brother is a prince, my mother is the queen, my daddy is king and I am royalty.

I will remember to say “thank you” and “please” and “you’re welcome” and “I love you.”

I will listen so that I may be heard when I speak.

I will mean what I say and say what I mean.

I will eat what makes me happy.

I will always do my best and I will believe in the possibility of the impossible.

I will think and I will learn.

I will laugh and I will cry.

I will love and I will enjoy the adventure.

I will celebrate family time, stories and kindness.

I will be honest.

I will try to do what is right, even if it is unpopular.

I am willing to be wrong and I am not afraid to fail.

I will be generous and I will be kind.

I will forgive myself and others.

I will work hard and I will play hard and I will remember that naps are important.

I will be grateful and I refuse to surrender to worry.

I will take care of myself and my family.

I will dance and I will sing and I will paint.

I will read and I will dream and I will create.

I will remember and I will believe in grace and truth.

Whatever it is, it will get better.

My body is my business and nobody else gets a vote.

Life is tough and so am I.

I accept myself and I am responsible for me.

What I bring to the world is enough.

I am loved.

I am Sophia Elizabeth Griffin and I am somebody.
