I Believe in people and their hopes, their aspirations, and their faith; in
their right to make their own plans and arrive at their own decisions; in
their ability and power to enlarge their lives and plan for the happiness of
those they love.
I Believe that education, of which Extension is an
essential part, is basic in stimulating individual initiative,
self-determination, and leadership; that these are the keys to democracy and
that people when given facts they understand, will act not only in their
self-interest, but also in the interest of society.
I Believe that education is a lifelong process and the greatest
university is the home; that my success as a teacher is proportional to
those qualities of mind and spirit that give me welcome entrance to the
homes of the families I serve.
I Believe in intellectual freedom to search for and present the truth
without bias and with courteous tolerance toward the views of others.
I Believe that Extension is a link between the people and the
ever-changing discoveries in the laboratories.
I Believe in the public institutions of which I am a part.
I Believe in my own work and in the opportunity I have to make my life
useful to humanity.
Because I Believe these things, I am an Extension professional. |
