You will be home by 11PM Sunday through Thursday nights.
Dad will subsidize school and basic necessities for school.
You will need to earn everything else.
Visitors are not allowed in the house when Dad is not home.

General Conduct
If you have a problem, ask for help asap.
Plan your day either first thing in the morning or the day before, every day, in writing.
Take a shower every day.
Brush your teeth at least twice daily.
Communication and relationship are most important. If you
are ever confused about a choice, prefer the choice that
improves them over the one that degrades them.
Keep Dad informed of your location. If Dad expects
you to be somewhere or to have done something that is not
going to happen on time, communcate that ahead of time.
Take responsibility. Everyone makes mistakes. Blame is worthless.
If you make a mistake, admit it, apologize, ask forgiveness,
and offer or figure out a way to try and make the situation
better asap.
Attitude determines the majority of
your quality of life.
