In my community, there is no education and/or alternate solutions for the prevention of destructive decisions in teenagers. Drugs and alcohol being the prevelent abusers, I wanted to start a group that would offer help, comfort, education, and opportunities to spread the word that such decisions can be avoided and a healthier lifestyle obtained. After exploring the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) website, I felt that it was exactly what my community needed: hope.

For our FBLA chapter we talked to 7th graders in our middle school and had a panel of people that would come talk to them about drug awareness and how it is a growing issue and how to say "No" to drugs. The panel thought it was a great idea, and so now we are doing the same for 5th graders as well!

I began working on the Govenor's Substance Abuse and Violent Crimes Advisory Board for the State of Wyoming, in July of 2006, at age 20. I am a strong advocate for youth in crisis and recovery from drug addiction. I started out by traveling around the state, speaking out about meth. I use my personal experiences after being addicted to drugs and being in recovery to help others look at their personal lives and to empower them to make good choices.
I assisted in promoting the "Addiction" documentary that was on HBO in March 2007.

While the cause I chose is only a piece of the puzzle, it is a big piece. Teens in America are facing challenges that no other generation before them has faced. The media has set up programming that will coerce them into certain attitudes and lifestyle choices from the time they are young. For example, what they wear, moral authority, relationship choices, violence, etc. My desire is to give them an alternative to being raised by the media and bringing the hearts of the children back to the parents and visa versa.

My Dad and I have started a BMX racing team in our community. Dad is helping me to contact Foster Care, Integral Youth Services, The Angel Project, Child Development, the local military base and other orgaizations to reach children who are going though problems in their lives. They may be from families with gang orientation, drug addiction, alcohol addiction, abuse, divorce, deployment or parent death. These children may have emotional or physical problems.
