Witnessing "It's No Joke, Say NO to Smoke"

I made a quick visit to the Prairie Wind Middle School the other day just to run a few errands. Two of my five siblings go to school there and so I often make a quick run through to pick up my brother or sister, or say a hello to fellow teachers and students.

I visited the middle school about a month ago with my SADD chapter.I led a presention of "It's No Joke, Say NO to Smoke," and the SADD members and our friends led some classroom disscussions. For more details check out my blog story!

As I was walking throughout the halls I stopped in my mid tracks and busy world. I stared at posters that were hanging on the wall. On these posters was the phrase "It's No Joke, Say NO to Smoke." I smiled and a few thoughts ran into my mind. I just wanted to share them with you.

I have now spoken to 3,000 pre-teens, and teens about teen smoking issues. I have given these students the tools they will need to implement "It's No Joke, Say NO to Smoke" in their schools and organizations. It's so humbling! After I speak though I leave and don't get to see right away how it has made a differnece in their lives. But this time I did. It's so exciting to see my platform impacting my peers and the people around me. It's such a blessing.

I want to thank all of you who continue to support me in my efforts!

God bless you!
