She took one everyday and got her school work done and got put back on the field she tried to stop but she liked the way the drug made her feel she didn't feel overwhelmed anymore. What the dealer forgot to mention is the drug was also mixed with a anti-depression drug to keep the user feeling good. She would try to stop maybe go a day without the drugs maybe two days but not longer than that. She loved that she didn't need to waste time sleeping to feel good. When she first took the drug it was helping but as time went by you could see that she hasn't slept in days maybe weeks but she wasn't tired, she was on edge and her school work was getting done but it was just good enough to land her a C, even though she got her spot back on the team she stopped going to the practices and stopped hanging on with her normal friends. Her brother and sister started to notice the change she was never home and her sister never saw her at tennis anymore. They tired to go to their parents about it but they just said she is to busy with work, and that they need to relax she just needs to find balance. They needed to know what was going on with her so they went to school they made Brittany take a drug test but since the the drug is a designer drug it didn't show up on any normal drug

    She explained how she relapsed after being 3 months clean. Since the relapse in 2015 to 2016 she became clean again in August of 2016 with the help of her fiancé and her family. Since she took responsibility for her actions and explained that she does have a problem. I believe that is the first step to recovery. She was very adamant about how she does do wrong and then she had a plan to do what was right in her life for herself and not for anyone else. It may seem selfish, but that is the only way to control an addiction within one’s self, in my opinion. Accepting what is wrong and willing to deal with it is a start and having a great support system will help tremendously. The State Board of Nursing should allow her a second chance to prove that she can overcome and control her addiction while preforming the career she worked hard to achieve. The board should place a strict probation, and tasks that she can perform should be evaluated periodically. In the Nurse Practice Act it states, “Use or unlawful possession of any controlled substance, as defined in chapter 195, or alcoholic beverage to an extent that such use impairs a person 's ability to perform the work of any profession licensed or regulated by sections 335.011 to 335.096 (pg.

    Oh seventh grade, what a year to remember. That was actually my favorite year of middle school. At home during this time was a mess and my grades also plummeted but I think going to school took some stress off because I was taking some time to "myself" and forgetting for a while about my home situation. Seventh grade, I would say was a year of friends for me. I had and still to this day have a friend from kindergarten that I considered a best friend. Until a new girl came along, lets call her Patricia. Patricia basically took "my spot" I guess in fifth grade while I was off at my new school for the year. Anyway speeding forward to seventh grade I noticed my best friend, lets call her Amanda, not really talking to me anymore and or passing by

  • Personal Narrative: My Middle And High School

    Not to brag, but I’m a pretty good kid. I have never had detention throughout my middle and high school career. The only time I have been called to the office was last year when the freshmen principal thought I had skipped because I was counted absent in a class, even though I was present during that hour. I’m not trying to claim I’m a perfect saint, there’s been situations where I didn’t necessarily “do the right thing” and of course I get an attitude at times. While I might not get into a lot of immense trouble, I have a problem getting motivated to step out of my comfort zone, although at times I severely push the limits.

  • Random Drug Testing is a Waste of Time

    1624 Words  | 4 Pages

    Her grades fell. She was always tired. She never seemed to be able to focus at school. Classes she used to be interested in became utterly mundane. Friends she used to care about became replaceable. She stopped spending time with her family. She sat on the bench at every soccer game instead of becoming the star player her coaches thought she could. This is what addiction to drugs can do to a young person’s life. Addiction can take away everything that once made that young person happy. The only thing that matters anymore is the drug, getting high, and getting higher. It is a horrible and tragic thing that destroys so many young lives. Some people think that in order to prevent these situations, the best solution is random drug testing. But this is not a reasonable solution whatsoever. Many more students are using and selling drugs as they roam around the campus, but will never be “caught” with such a fickle and illusive process. Random student drug testing is not a plausible solution for the drug problem in public schools; it is unreliable and it infringes on the lives of those students involved.
