Personal Change
Creating Structure
Understanding that there’s always the option to say “NO” illegal substances. The youth have control of their future. The Smart-Kids Don’t Get High foundation can contribute and ensure that they have a successful life, health and well-being. Smart-Kids Don’t Get High foundation educates the youth on utilizing their voices to speak up about commitment to abstain from using illegal substances and furthermore to educate their friends, family and community. Spread the positivity one child at a time.
Educating youth on decision-making. During the
developmental stages there’s plenty of distractions. Educating
the youth to be responsible for their choices. Smart Kids Don’t
Get High Foundation acts a support system and providing
trustworthy resources in addition to listening to feedback and
learns from in addition to their parents and teachers.
Educating our youth refuse to associate with individuals that use illegal substances to stop the influence. Moreover they should connect with friends who do not choose to use marijuana, or other illegal substances, to avoid peer pressure. If children are hanging out with a group that is using drugs they may want to think about making new friends. We influence children to have the choice not to have to “go along to get along”.
Educating our youth to be unique while being responsible.
Children can learn to do better when they are taught to know
better. Remember, there is nothing cool about using illegal
substances. Children should be taught the importance of caring
about their grades, graduating, attending college, pursuing their
dreams or owning their own business and why “Just Saying No”
is an important part of achieving those goals. Children using
illegal substances can make it difficult to concentrate in school,
in sports and in activities.
Children seek to self educate from foundation derivatives,
resources at school, and within their communities about illegal
substances.
Educating our youth to thrive and become good citizens,
good friends and have good character. Teaching our children to
set a positive example for their friends, teachers, and family
and in their community. Our children do not forget that their
actions speak louder than words. Our children learn ways to
form a solid foundation in school, at home and in their
communities. Our children should explore clear direction for
their life that can have lasting rewards for them today, tomorrow
and in the future.
TESTIMONIALS
To whom it may concern: February 2023
My name is Shirley Woods. I have been employed with Los Aneles Unified School District for 30 years as a Mathematics Teacher.
This material was used in our Science and English classes for book reports and PowerPoints given by the students. This particular subject motivated the students and kept them engaged to give feedback to their peers and also to the teacher. The students walked away with more knowledge about this subject matter to help themselves and also others.
