I remember when my water bag broke; it was August 12, 1992, and the time was 12:15am.I was very excited that I would see my new baby on her due date. I did what the child birthing book recommended. I woke my husband up and told him to call the hospital. In the meantime I decided to take a shower. I was pretty calm because I didn't have any contractions. I wore my best maternity outfit and was spruced up compared to my husband. I even put on some perfume. You see, we had just gone to bed at 11:30
when a person’s personality really shows. Everyone finds who they are inside, and they find others like them. Some try to move up the popularity pole, and will do anything to reach the top. Others seem to just fade away out of existence because of drugs. My friend Todd was one that just disappeared from my life. At the beginning of freshman year, I didn’t know many other people at my school. All of my friends choose to go to another school that was in our district. I was in the cafeteria talking

Drugs An issue of personal, local, and national concern that I would like to focus in this essay is drugs. There are many reasons why I find drugs to be an issue of great importance to me. First, drugs is a personal issue to me. For most of my life, I have been living in places where drugs have surrounded me. For the past ten years, I have been living in the Duncan Projects in Jersey City, where the temptation of selling, buying, or even using drugs seems to be growing every day. Every day
of DMT, and therefore may be highly uninformed of the drug, if they know anything about it at all. Also, due to it being illegal, it is very hard for research to be done on the drug. DMT is no ‘party drug’; it is absolutely not to be used simply for the purpose of ‘tripping out’.

PCP:PCP and its Affects on the Human Body PCP or Phencyclidine is a very deadly drug in today’s society. PCP was developed in the 1950’s as an anesthetic.

Athletes work daily putting in as much effort as they can but some take the easy way and use PED’s. It is unfair to those athletes that actually try at the sport. First off it is unfair to other athletes that work hard for someone to cheat and use PED’s. Athletes do not think it is fair considering how much hard work they put into the sport they play.

to be the best has contributed to the rise in drug taking within the sporting community. As stated in an article by Australian Ethical Knowledge-based journalist The Conversation ‘In short, the commercialization of sport – by business, government and sports administrators - has corrupted the values of sport and removed the moral basis for integrity in sport.’ The fundamental ethos of sporting competition is the rivalry between highly skilled
