Always Be Yourself
When you go throughout your day don’t forget to be yourself. When you wake up in the morning, stop everything you’re doing go look in the mirror, and be proud of who you are. Then, go choose an outfit that is unique and don’t worry about what other people might think about your outfit. After that, walk into school and say hello to everyone you meet, kids and adults. Don’t forget to include all people and sit by them at lunch, in class, and at home. I always be myself and I do most of those things. Do things you want to do not what other people want you to do.
DON’T Do Drugs
In my life, I have goals. My goals are to get a job that satisfies me and earn money to support my future family. I want to be surrounded by family and friends, and be healthy and active. I especially want to own the trust of others. Those are my life goals.
When you do drugs, it is hard to hold a job. Drugs cost a lot of money and they can cause problems with your family and friends. People might not trust you because you are addicted to drugs. Drugs damage the way you look and feel.

You can build positive relationships with most people and you can be physically healthy and active. A drug-free life earns you respect, and you become a trusted member of your community. Take my advice and don’t do drugs. If you have a problem, get help and commit to stopping. Drugs can seriously damage your body, your image, and your life. DON’T do drugs!
