Proud SADD Memeber Adrienne

Hello,

My name is Adrienne. I am a senior at Coral Springs Charter. Which is a unique experience for sure- since Charter is a middle/ high-school I've had the chance to grow from 6th grade to now. Wow, I can't believe...it was just yesterday when I was stepping into the doors of CSC & next month I will be turning 18 & getting ready to exit those same doors. I must admit that I am excited for the next coming weeks, not only because I'll be turning the big 1-8, but I will be able to share this experience with my fellow SADD members & the Act Out Loud Community.
I have been involved with some activities with SADD since last year and I really love the experience. I consider my self a leader and I felt that this is the perfect starting point to make a different and lead my peers to making better and safer life choice. I have always wanted to make a positive impact in someone's life in some way & I know our projects will be the way to do it.
The quote Ms. Dallas wrote from Eleanor Roosevelt, gave me a moment to think about my life & where I want to be. This quote really touch me in so many ways. I am at a point in my life where I am searching for my identity. I do believe that you gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience. I have witness a lot of situations that have brought me to understand that we as teens have to control of our lives by making the best choices possible. I have been in car crashes and could I have lost my life. I am thankful for all my 17+ years of experience because I am here now telling my story to make a difference & make an impact in someones life in some way even if it takes my whole life doing it.
