“Before The Bell Rings” I pledge allegiance to the public schools, in what’s considered the urban areas. To respect the underpaid teachers, during the several hours they keep us; in their attempt to educate and correct the mistakes we make. I’ll solemnly commit to sit, listen and learn, because a diploma or scholarship is what I’m here to earn; not to form a clique, bully anyone or to think attending school is just for fun. So, before the bell rings my mind will be made; to never be late, my teacher appreciate, a lot of work I’ll anticipate and my grades will be great! “Ring, Ring, Ring,” class is in session.
