Deciding to Stay Safe in the Sun
by Emily Kaufmann

I believe that I can change my sun safety habits by deciding to wear sunscreen every day.

I decide to wear sunscreen because it improves how attractive my skin is.

I decide to wear a hat when I am outside to shield my face from the sun so that I can protect my skin.

I decide to wear sunglasses to keep my eyesight healthy.

I decide to apply sunscreen and help my family apply sunscreen before we go out into the sun.

I decide to talk with my friends about sun safety because wearing sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses can protect our skin and eyes.

I decide to reapply sunscreen regularly with my best friend when we are out in the sun so that we maintain healthy skin during the summertime.

I believe that I can improve my skin health by deciding to wear sunscreen, glasses, and hats every day.

Summary
I’ve decided to stay safe in the sun.
How about you?
Have you decided too?
