Reflection:
My
commitment is to always stay away from drugs, no matter how many time people
offer me. I will stay away from people who use drugs, so I won’t be influenced.
I know the consequences of using drugs and I don’t want my family or friends to
suffer. I promise to never, not even a little try of drugs. I will keep this commitment
to teach my kids that it might be hard to stay away from drugs but in the end it’s
worth it.
