I am talented, smart and capable of success. I have dreams for the future and I will climb to reach those goals and dreams every day. I understand that reaching my goals and dreams requires self-control, good decision making, and positive choices. I will practice these choices by:

RESPECTING MY SELF

Be of service | Be creative | Dress appropriately to reflect my self-worth and value | Exercise self-control at all times | Take responsibility for my actions and choices

SHOWING RESPECT TO THOSE AROUND ME INCLUDING STAFF, PEERS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS

Practice non-violence | Use appropriate language | Cooperate with staff instructions and directions fully

BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ENVIRONMENT

Keep food and drinks in designated areas | Keep bouncing balls inside of the gym | Walk in the lobby/ halls | Clean up after myself
