I pledge that…
I will embrace the mistakes I make and laugh along with those who find them comical;
I will make friends with people who aren’t like me;
I will take the flights I miss, the trains I get thrown off of and the busses that break down in stride;
I will practice more than just the curse words;
I will eat what’s in front of me, especially when I don’t know what it is;
I will respect my host culture and myself;
I will not panic when I get lost;
I will never pack more than I can carry;
I will never ignore my surroundings;
I will never forget that every place has both good points and bad;
I will appreciate the opportunities I’ve been given;
I will push the limits of my comfort zone.
