Both resiliency and love\u00a0enable a child to say no to drugs.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Every child can say be strong enough to say no to drugs.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I grew up in a dysfunctional home, I still said no to drugs. At home, I often hid in a small storage space at the back of my closet because the loud arguing made me afraid.\u00a0I spent so much time in that storage space that I taught myself to read while sitting in there by age three and a half.<\/p>\n<p>But some days I went to Grandma\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as my Mother walked out the door, I would rest on my Grandmother\u2019s couch and tell her all about how I was feeling. She would massage my feet until I fell asleep, and then she snuggled me while I slept. I woke up in her arms feeling safe and loved.<\/p>\n<p>My Grandmother taught me to be strong. She gave me advice about how I could help myself, prayed with me, and\u00a0gave me a reason to keep on living.<\/p>\n<p>On prom night, my peers passed a joint around. I said no. They laughed at me and teased me, but I did not care what <em>they <\/em>thought about me. I only cared about what my Grandmother thought of me.<\/p>\n<p>In college my peers again tried to tempt me to take drugs and I still said no. I could not disappoint my Grandmother.<\/p>\n<p>After college, life got even harder. My husband abused me every day. Emotionally, physically, and mentally. There were days I wanted to give up and die. I never gave up. Again, I remembered my grandmother and the gift she had given me: resiliency.<\/p>\n<p>My grandmother gave me strength, belief in myself.<\/p>\n<p>Because of her, I know I am a special person and I know I can survive any challenge life throws at me. My grandmother still loves me even though she died many years ago.<\/p>\n<p>I said no to drugs because I could not disappoint my grandmother.\u00a0\u00a0 I survived many extreme challenges because I knew she loved me.<\/p>\n<p>Give a child a future. Show him unconditional love and support. Teach him to believe in himself.\u00a0 The child will always do his best because of you.<\/p>\n<p>You can change the world by keeping children off drugs!<\/p>\n<p>Enable a child to soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\">eagle<\/a> above life\u2019s many storms.
