by Tom Mukasa
I do endeavor to show up on time,
I am always desiring to be on time,
I do stop and ask directions,
I give it my whole,
I pay of attention to details,
I stay motivated by saying this is for me,
I do homework and check my progress,
I set a date and avoid excess baggage,
I do study intensively extensively,
I allow a person to speak to me,
I stay awake, focused and determined,
I practice, play and pray,
I listen, acknowledge and give credit.
