I pledge to never drink and drive. If I do drink, I pledge to call a sober friend, adult, parent, or officer to drive me home. I refuse to be just another statistic. I refuse to throw my life away for one night of partying or a few drinks. I know the price, and it is not worth it. I do not need alcohol to have a good time, and refuse to be known as the person that does. I pledge to never let a friend who has had anything to drink, drive. Life is too short, and a stupid mistake like that is tragic. I refuse to let a friend drive drunk. If they resist, I will take their keys from them and drive them home myself.
I pledge to always stay strong in my faith. If I fall short, I will call a friend or an adult and seek help. My faith is extremely important to me, and I will do everything in my power to keep it that way. I pledge to pray everyday, or at least make an honest attempt to do so. I pledge to be nonjudgemental of people who are different from me or what I'm used to. I pledge to try my best to trust God in everything, and not put the blame on him for my wrong actions, or my tough situations. I pledge to encourage others in their Walk, and be the best mentor/friend I can possibly be. I pledge to give God the glory for my gifts and achievements, and not accept the credit myself. I pledge to always lend an ear to anyone who needs to talk, and will listen and encourage them no matter what.
I pledge to always treat girls with respect. I pledge to always treat them how they deserve to be treated: like daughters of God. I pledge to never go farther than the girl is willing to go, and no further than I feel comfortable going. I refuse to do anything with a girl that may compromise my relationship with God. I pledge to never hurt them physically, and will stop any guy from doing so. I pledge to always be their friend first, before any relationship should start. I pledge to always be the "nice guy" or "the friend", and will stick to my standards. I will stick to the "nice guy" stereotype, and will not change myself just to get a girl's attention. I will not treat girls with disrespect, calling them names or degrading them. I will not be known as a "jerk" among girls. I refuse to be labeled as the stereotype "all guys are the same". I pledge to prove girls wrong in that respect, and represent a Man of God, and what that should look like. I will not lower my standards to anything less than what God has intended for me, just so I can have a girlfriend quicker. I will wait for the right girl to come along, not forcing a relationship just because I want one. I pledge to always be faithful to whoever I'm with, and will always be their shoulder to cry on, their listening ear. I pledge to stick up for girls if I see them in need, or in trouble, whether it be physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental needs. I pledge to always view girls as children of God, not objects of lust.
I pledge to always treat my elders with respect. Whether it be teachers, parents, relatives, friends' parents, or any adult, I refuse to be a "problem child". I will treat them with the respect they have earned. I will accept their advice, and value their input. I pledge to ask an adult before I make any major decisions in my life.
I pledge to never again use illegal drugs. I know the consequences of doing so: it ruined my spiritual life, my social life, and nearly my sports career. I refuse to be labeled as a "stoner" or "drunk". I will use my body to glorify God, and drugs are not part of that.
I pledge to use my spiritual gifts to the best of my abilities, in order to most effectively glorify God. I refuse to let my gifts go to waste. I pledge to discover more gifts, and use them in the best way possible. I pledge to use the talents and passions God gave to me to glorify Him. I know anything I am good at (sports, writing, talking, listening, etc.) is because He saw fit to give me those incredible gifts. I refuse to take life for granted. I pledge to value every thing in my life, from friends to the smallest blade of grass. I pledge to give thanks to God for everything I see everywhere I go. I know He created every single thing I see, hear, feel, and smell, and I will give glory where glory is due.
Finally, I pledge to always try my hardest. I refuse to do anything less than perfect. I refuse to give anything less than my 100%. Life is too short to misuse our Gifts, so I pledge to use them with my all. I pledge to always listen to people, no matter what their background, beliefs, ethnicity, religion, or views are. I refuse to reject anybody from my group of friends. I refuse to exclude anyone, and I pledge to include anyone I see alone, to join my group.
These are the most important things in my life, and I pledge to keep all of these things. If ever you see me fail at any of these, please tell me. I am trying my hardest to be an honest man. A reliable man. A hard-working man. A man of God. If you ever see me fall short of any of these things, call me out on them, and I will try my hardest to correct them. Thanks for reading, and keep me accountable!
