Student, Legacy HS
Thank you so much for coming to talk to us. It really opened my eyes. Before I didn’t really think about the consequences of doing drugs and drinking alcohol. All I knew was that it helped me feel happy and forget for a minute. Now I see that life can be better and that I don’t need those things. Thank you for helping me see that. You have changed my life.
