I was invited to be a guest speaker at the 8th annual T3- Teens Talking Truth conference, which was held today. T3 is an organization I was involved with as a teen and I was proud to return and speak to the group of 300 high school students. T3 is a group of of teens from Macomb County dedicated to empowering their fellow youth to live healthy lifestyles. They plan various drug-free events around the county and this is one of them. The entire conference is planned by the T3 group and they did a wonderful job!
The theme of this year's conference was 'Life of a Teen...' and I was asked to speak about my own life as a teen and how I've chosen to stay drug free. I had a great time speaking to this group about having goals and holding on to them and also shared a few personal stories from my life about friends that I've lost from destructive decisions. I am glad that I am able to speak to groups like this and use my stories in a way that connects with people. I'm so happy to give back to T3 and CARE, two organizations that have given me so much.
Hugs, not drugs!
XOXO, Angela
