The Pledge
(PDF version of The Pledge)
I, ______________________________, pledge to make safe and responsible decisions while on spring break. I have taken the time to consider my personal boundaries in regards to the 5 Potential Follies: Travel, Alcohol, Drugs, Sex and Crime. Below are my decisions:
How will I get to my destination safely?
What will I drink, and how much?
What is my personal boundary about drugs?
Will I have sex? If so, how will I protect myself?
How will I stay safe from crime and violence?
Furthermore, I will make sure my parents or guardians have a copy of my important documents and full itinerary. When driving, I will wear my seat belt at all times. If riding shotgun, I will keep the driver awake. I will not allow anyone in the car to drink and drive. I will make sure any friend who is too intoxicated to be out is taken home safely. I will go out with my friends, and go home with my friends. I will respect myself by honoring my personal boundaries as stated above. While on spring break, I will obey the laws of that destination.
I will not justify reckless behaviors by assuming “whatever happens on spring break stays on spring break.” I know and understand this is merely a vacation, and I choose to act responsibly. In doing so, this will be a Spring Break I won’t soon forget…in a good way.
