    Question Oath-taking write-up for new students

    I have prepared an oath-taking write-up for my school ( new students ).
    I need to fine-tune grammatical structures of the text if there are mistakes.
    In the name of universal understanding that depicts freedom ; and in the name of God that depicts power; we , the new pupils of KK School hereby pledge that :
    a, We will truly and consciously manifest to uphold the good name of our school at all times ;
    b. We will strive for academic excellence through perseverence, boundless energy and relentless commitmment;
    c. We will maintain our strong character and moral values that stand on the pillar of respect, mutual understanding and love ;
    d. We will never let our emotions to creep into harshness, hostility, animosity and prejudice ;
    AND LASTLY ,
    e. We espouse the laws of this country without fail.

    .
    The supplications to freedom and to God are far too strong for school children, and E is not within the bounds of the responsibilities of a student. I would suggest a more modest approach and simpler strictures:


    We, the new pupils of KK School hereby pledge that:

    a. We will truly and conscientiously uphold the good name of our school at all times;
    b. We will strive for academic excellence through perseverence, boundless energy and relentless commitment;
    c. We will maintain our strong character and moral values based on respect, mutual understanding and brotherly love;
    d. We will never let our emotions degenerate into harshness, hostility, animosity or prejudice; and
    e. We espouse the school regulations without exception.
