Summit Symposium 2nd Period

What have I learned from an older person? I have learned a lot from older people. My grandma has taught me the most. She taught me to have respect for myself before I can respect anyone else. The most important thing she has taught me is that I have to trust. I could not trust anyone before. She sat me down and talked to me for a very long time about that. Now I trust a lot of people. Maybe not as many as I should, but I trust a lot more.

Do I know anyone who has died of a drug overdose? Yes I have known a lot of people that I have died of that. My friend Nichole she is alive now. Her heart stopped when she took one to many pills one night. I was there when that happened. It totally sucked. It has affected me so much. I watched one of my closest friends go from a beautiful girl to skinny as heck and taking all sorts of pills for her heart. It is crazy how fast it can happen. It changed my life forever.
