My reaction to the assembly was good and bad. It was good because I now know to appreciate everything that I have in life. From the people, friends, family, role models, and my opportunities and situations. I am grateful; because I don’t or didn’t go through the things those men did when they were my age. I was surprised to see that a lot of my class mates had the same things in common when questions were asked. It made me realize that abusing drugs is something that I would never want to do because it will jeopardize my future. I play for the basketball team and just got accepted into a college, being in trouble with the law and being around drugs and drinks are the last things I want to do.
The bad isn’t much to say, but it was just making mw think about my dad a lot. He has been in prison since I was in middle school. He went to prison because of possession of drugs and he is now incarcerated for ten years. I looked at them and thought about my dad and put myself in there shoes and made up my mind to do the right thing. Many girls don’t like that stuff and I don’t want to be labeled as that guy.
Really good thoughts, Jay. I'm glad that you have a plan for yourself that keeps you out of those kind of activities, and while I'm sure some of that hit close to home because of your dad, hopefully you can use that knowledge to keep making good decisions
