In the HOSA creed, which line comes immediately after the word Therefore?

• A. I will dedicate myself to promoting health and advancing healthcare as a student, a leader, an educator and a member of HOSA- Future Health Professionals
• B. I recognize the universal need for quality compassionate healthcare.
• C. I understand the importance of academic excellence, skills, training, and leadership development in my career pathway.
• D. I believe through my service to my community and to the world, I will make the best use of my knowledge and talents.

Answer: (A)

The line that follows Therefore is the direct commitment to personal action in health advocacy. It states: I will dedicate myself to promoting health and advancing healthcare as a student, a leader, an educator and a member of HOSA-Future Health Professionals. This fits best because it completes the implied promise with a concrete pledge about how you will participate and lead in health care through various roles. The other lines touch on important themes like the universal need for quality care, academic and leadership development, or service to the community, but they do not serve as the immediate next pledge when the creed transitions from Therefore.
