I believe that I deserve to be respected and valued by others
For the things that make me unique and special
I believe that my voice echoes the hopes, concern and worries of those who choose not to speak
I believe that I am blessed with tremendous potential to change the world
And I won’t let anyone tell me otherwiseI am a Rough Rider
I am strong
I am invincible
I persevere in the face of hardship
I was born of greatness and to greatness I will return
I am a Rough Rider
I fight injustice where I find it
I stand up for what’s right
I treat every challenge as an opportunity to prove that I’m great
I am the change
I am the future
I was born to lead
I’m a Rough Rider.
