All That I Am To Be Is Up To Me All that I am to be is up to me. I am a jewel unique and precious. If I am to shine it will be up to me. I will do all that I can, to be the best that I can, in all the ways that I can, Because all that I am to be is up to me. I understand that knowledge is power. No one can fail me but me. With an education all things are possible, My dreams can become a reality. I will shoot for the moon and if I don’t succeed, I recognize that he who never failed has never tried. Success if it is to be is up to me. I will never allow my problems to become an excuse. If I can conceive an idea and believe it I can achieve it. I cannot do everything; but I can do something. In all things I will do my best, because All that I am to be is up to me. Stephen M. Goodly
