In the novel "Tweak" by Nic Sheff, I found just by the first chapter that his story of thinking drugs are fine starts at a young age. Basically, one drug led to another, then his whole life began to go down hill. When he was being involved with drugs and alcohol. His family life wasn't the same, so he went to rehab. Later down the road when the love of his life didn't want him, he relapsed into drugs again. But this time it was the abuse of Meth.

 

Hoop of Learning - Day 1

1.) I learned on the first day of the Hoop program that Chenoa, and Tanyka are both Ashley's neices. Raul, Brittney, Aaliyah, and i are the only students in the program from last summer hoop program.

2.) I liked the diversity in the hoop group this year. There are people from different hoop programs that chose ours!

3.) I wish everyone would have been more open and social. But then again, it was the first day!
