Youth Leaders

Why do you choose to be drug free?

If I did drugs, I wouldn't be able to do the things that I do. When I saw what drugs did to some of my friends after they got suspended for it, I also choose to be drug free because I don't want to go through what they had to go through.

What advice would you give to parents on how to talk to their kids about drugs?

You don't have to go into every detail, just tell them how harmful drugs are and what effects they could have on their future.

What are your future plans and how does staying drug free help you achieve them?

I plan on getting a good college education and either majoring in law or pharmacology. By staying drug free, I can keep concentrating on my goals.

Who is your biggest supporter in you quest to remain drug free?

I have a couple of close friends that I turn to for support, but I mostly turn to my family.
