I,
Hnes Onewb,
hereby swear to abandon all fear;
to question everything;
to trust in myself;
to honor those before me as I excel,
and to support those who follow as they ascend.
I swear that I will never accept another's standard for success,
as I set mine one measure higher.
When I am finished,
no one will ever fucking look at Odobenus scrofa the same way again.
