v Staying drug-free is a better choice

In this video I saw the dark side of doing drugs and the bright side of staying drug-free. There is a major difference and its better is making the right decision before you choose which one. Always be careful with what you do with your life because sometimes you do things you regret later on. Doing drugs not only affects you but the people that surround you and love you. Never go for what other do but do what’s better for you. I promise to stay away from drugs because it’ll just ruin my life in so many ways.

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

Reflection: Sleeping early will give you the right necessary tools for the next day awaiting. If you sleep very late all that results is having sleepy eyes and not ready for that day. You’ll be tired and lazy because you didn't get enough sleep. People believe that if you sleep right or wrong it’ll both affect you in a way. But the good one is that if you sleep right you’ll have a good attitude and if you don’t you’ll be grouchy. For example, if you sleep late and you have school the next day you won’t want to do anything and that’s because you decided to sleep late the day before.

Student Success Statement

“A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession.”

Hippocrates

Reflection: Realizing that health can be really important can make you feel good. Knowing you have to have a healthy lifestyle can change you. For example, if you drink and smoke every single day that surely isn’t healthy at all. But if you know about what health actually means and change the things you do it’s for good. If you want to become someone on life you have to be healthy because if you apply for a job and get accepted but you always get there late because you had drank last night, most likely their going to fire you and lose your job. Meanwhile you can change your health and eat right, exercise, and have good emotional health.
