 * A Promise Shayna Fineran **

I promise to do my homework. I promise to listen to the teachers at school. I promise that I will be good at home and school.

I will promise I will be kind And I hope that others keep a promise too. I hope that my friends keep a promise.

I made a promise to my mom That I will get an A in reading and homeroom and in writing too. That is what I am going to do. I’m trying to do my best but My mom said I am going to get Either a B or C or D or F But I don’t thinks so. I am trying my hardest. I do my homework I read at night, And I’ve been trying to work on my spelling.

I promise to help my family when I grow up When I have a job I will achieve more than my mother ever did One day I will reforest this land I SWEAR IT. Cause we are losing life, food, and animals Cause I care about the earth When I make a promise I keep it.
 * I Swear It Trenton Yellow Hawk **

I promise I will do my best at everything. I promise that I will not do drugs or steal or drink. I promise myself that I will have a job and take care of my family (if I have kids) and I promise I won’t let my kids get in trouble. I promise that we will have food every day and heat and money. I promise that I’ll do my best to buy clothes and things my kids need. I promise to make sure my kids go to school every day. So I hope I can keep these promises. I promise when I’m eighteen I will have to fight my older brother. He is eighteen years old right now. I’m thirteen years old right now, but I have to work out because he is pretty strong. He boxed. He is athletic like me, but he’s been playing in more games. I think I won’t be able to beat him up. We always wrestle, me and him and his friend. He lives in Belle Fourche, supports his girlfriend and has a good job constructing with pavement.
 * My Promise Dakota Richards **
 * I Promise Jakota Moore **

I promise to do my work, stay away from drugs, alcohol, and other bad things. I will stay in school every day. I would not miss any assignments in any class. I will work hard and be a good student and never miss a day in school. That is my promise to myself. It would be a good thing not to miss any days of school so I would not.
 * Promises Carla Red Elk **

I promise to stay in school and to listen to my teacher. I promise to stay on task and do all of my homework. I promise to stay in school and do all of my homework. I promise to stay in sports. I promise to take risks. I promise to do everything people tell me to do. I promise to never get in trouble with people or start trouble. I promise to attend everything that comes up. I promise to get on the bus every day. I promise to write in my journal every day. I promise to listen to my principal. I promise to follow every direction someone gives me. I promise to do everything right.
 * I Promise Darwin Tallman **

I promised my mom that I will go to college so I can go anywhere I can. If I do, I can get a house and car, have kids and work hard. I’m growing up. I hope no one will die in my family. No one will do drugs and drink beer; everyone will make good choices. When I’m out of school I play basketball every day. I’ll have a job and I hope to keep it.
 * I Promised Bear Moore **

<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face','serif';">I’ll promise to be true. I’ll promise not to be you. I’ll promise just to say I need you Will you promise to keep a secret? Or will you lie for everything I do wrong? Will you keep this one question? Do you have promises?

<span style="font-family: 'baskerville old face','serif';">I made a promise to a friend and I almost told someone, but I remember that if I told someone I won’t be a good friend. That same day I told her I was sorry and it was weird because she said, “Why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything!” And I replied, “I know that, but I almost told someone and if I tell someone your promise won’t come true… and I won’t be a good friend just like you.” And she said, ‘You will always be my friend, no matter what.” Now we are like sisters and no one can change that.

<span style="font-family: 'Baskerville Old Face','serif';">You promised you’ll always be there for me But you’re not. You promised that you’ll catch me when I fall But you don’t.
