I will be kind
and strong
and mindful

Guided by a strong belief in justice and peace
I will stand for inclusivity and compassion for all
and walk with a warm open heart

I will grow through my experiences with diverse communities
nurtured by their resilience, hope, and spirit of growth.
I will reach towards my dream of creating a safe space for the wellbeing and empowerment of all
and offer my time and support for those in need

I will be remembered for always being there to help when it mattered,
Because I choose to create ripples of kindness in the lives I have touched, in some way.
I will carry forward with positive intent and meaningful action with every step,
and leave behind a legacy of togetherness and solidarity

I come from a place of purpose and possibility
and I move towards fulfilment of dreams and goals
I will be the voice of hope in times of despair
I will be the light in spaces where shadows linger
I will be the change that inspires courage and kindness, so that those who come after me walk a path made gentler, brighter, and stronger.
