PLEDGE

• I know I belong to a family and there are tasks and chores that need to be done around the house. • I respect that our family wants our home to be clean and useful. • I agree to keep our own areas picked up and not overly cluttered. This includes no dirty laundry on the bedroom floors; things piled up on shelves and keep my personal things lying around.• I will keep my parents in the loop

when a chore has become too complicated for me, for instance if I do not know how to do something.

• I will never leave a chore undone without talking to my parents.

• I will take pride in my work, so that the tasks or chores I have to do will be done to the best of my ability.

• I understand that chores are never really fun for

anyone, but they are necessary tasks that

need to be done in order to live. Therefore, I will not give my parents a bad attitude about getting them done.

• My responsibilities come first and my chores are my responsibility.• I will not procrastinate and put off my

chores until the last minute.

“Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, butthe final

forming of a person's

character lies in their

own hands.”

“You are only

young once, and if

you work it right, once is

enough”
