Unbreakable Vow
"The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death."

In Godric's Hollow, Voldemort was first defeated by Harry Potter. It is in this place where students have the opportunity to create their own 4-week challenges to help improve themselves however they'd like.

Since this is an optional challenge, these points will only count towards your individual point total and NOT house points.

For this term we will have the following schedule for the two Unbreakable Vow challenges:

• Vow I:
  • Post your first vow until 11:59 pm ET on Wednesday, August 28th (middle of week 1).
  • Follow your vow through weeks 1 - 4 (from Monday, August 26th (or the day you posted your vow) through Sunday, September 22nd.
  • Claim your points (see below) from Monday, September 23rd until 11:59 pm ET on Sunday, September 29th (during week 5). The thread will be opened again during this period.
  
  
• Vow II:
  
  • Post your second vow until 11:59 pm ET on Sunday, September 22nd (end of week 4). There will be a new thread posting during Week 4 when you can post your second Vow.
  • Follow your vow through weeks 5 - 8 (from Monday, September 23rd through Sunday, October 20th).
  • Claim your points (see below) during week 8, until 11:59 pm ET on Sunday, October 20th. The thread will be opened again during this week.
  
  Note - Given the ample amount of time we allow for students to post their vows and claim their points, the use of a tardy pass to post or claim points is NOT allowed.
  
  For this challenge, you will challenge yourself in a way that will improve your health. The challenge you pick should be a physical or food-related challenge.
  
  Rules:
  • The challenge must be a Quidditch/Potions-style challenge - i.e. a physical/exercise challenge or a food-related challenge. We will give students a lot of freedom, but please make sure to pick something that is a decent challenge for you.
    • Please note: Personal goals such as meditating, journaling, getting X hours of sleep per night, etc. do not count as Quidditch/Potion-style challenges, but they may be combined with such tasks when creating your vow. For example you could vow to do 15 minutes of creative writing and 15 minutes of strength training, 4 days per week.
    • If your vow does NOT include a Quidditch / Potion task then you will be asked to change it, but you will still only have until the respective deadline for posting your vow to do so. Therefore we highly encourage you to post your vow as soon as possible and reach out to a staff member if you have any questions.
  • The challenge should be a SMART challenge - specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-based. Therefore, "be more healthy" is NOT an appropriate challenge. However, "exercise for at least 15 minutes 5 days per week" is a SMART goal that you can achieve. As you will see from the examples below, it must also be clearly measurable - therefore do NOT use "most days" of the week - please be specific.
  • Because we also run a challenge to meet your calorie goal on a weekly basis (Arithmancy), you may NOT use that or tracking/logging food for your challenge goal.
  • Because we also run a challenge to meet your water goal on a weekly basis (Alchemy), you may NOT use that or tracking/logging drinks for your challenge goal.
  • Because the overall challenge is a weight-loss (or maintenance) challenge and we give you points for weigh-ins each week, please do NOT pick a challenge that is simply "lose x lbs."
  • Note: We STRONGLY recommend that you give yourself some leeway. It is often unrealistic to expect to complete something every single day, so please feel free to give yourself at least one day off when writing your challenge. For example, you could aim to get 1 hour of exercise every day, but for your official challenge you might use "I will exercise for 1 hour at least 5 days per week." Sometimes people get sick, have family emergencies, etc - so please give yourself a little wiggle room for those unexpected life events.
  • Once you have posted your challenge, it may NOT be changed after the respective 4-week period has begun!
  • If you joined or became an official student after the Vows were posted, unfortunately you cannot participate in Part I, but you can prepare for Part II!
  
  Examples for challenges:
  • I will exercise for 15 minutes at least 6 days per week (or even more specific - I will complete 10 minutes of stretching every day)
  • I will complete 30 minutes of exercise for 3 days each week
  • I will eat at least 3 servings of fruits/vegetables for 5 days each week
  • I will not eat fast food for at least 6 days of each week
  • I will run at least 10 miles each week
  
  If you are not sure if your challenge will be okay, please feel free to PM a staff member so we can confirm if it's appropriate.
  
  When you post your vow, please include your house name in ALL CAPS!
  
  Example:

  RAVENCLAW
  
  I vow to stay under 150 grams of carbs for 4 days each week.

  
  You may earn 3, 7, or 15 points for completing this optional challenge.
  
  • 15 points for completing your vow 100% of the challenge.
  • 7 points for completing your vow 75% of the challenge.
    For example, if my challenge was to exercise 3 times per week and some weeks I only exercised twice, then I'd claim 7 points.
  • 3 points for attempting your vow but succeeding for less than 75% of the challenge time.
    To earn those 3 points, you must still post at the end of the challenge stating that you attempted the challenge but did not complete it.
  When you are claiming your points, make sure to quote your original vow and then state how many points you earned.
  
  If you have any questions, please contact any of the staff members:
