Transcripts
okay everyone so in this next module
let's talk about drug education
so these are the module ghost enables to
develop the knowledge skills
and attitudes to appreciate the benefits
of living healthily which may or may not
include the use of psychoactive
substances
so this is our main goal guys and that
will be proactive rather than reactive
focusing on the
idea of making people realize that
getting involved into drugs is really
not going to be helpful for your goals
personal goals professional goals and
for you to be able to live this life
happily with your family family and
loved ones
okay this is our main priority why we
are doing this why we are educating
individuals about drug education and
that is because we want you to make good
decisions okay we want to promote
responsibility towards the use of drugs
and relate this to your own actions and
those of others both now and in their
future lives
so that's that is very important in the
drug war the
war that we are fighting against drug
abuse in the country it's more on you
having the responsibility towards how to
properly use legal drugs
and how you can take actions for you to
be able to
plan
uh part of your planning will be you
not never engaging into any form of
illegal drugs and of course provide
opportunities to reflect on your own
and others attitude to various
psychoactive substances their use and
the people who use them
so it's really important that you go and
make sure that the circle of friends
that you have
are people who will not be pushing you
to do something
that will be detrimental for your future
and their future
one thing that i'm very proud of when i
am
sharing to my students is my
[Music]
experience with my college friends
during college in saint mary's college
mikhain
i met people there that really helped me
out and really
really trying to set my goals and
be able to accomplish them
and that would be to graduate in my
bachelor course
or my bachelor of commerce major in
computer science course
and
these people were there to help me
finish the course without me dropping
any subjects
and that's why
i spent one year of wasting my time
[Music]
in another school in another university
and i share this to my students not
because i'm ashamed of sharing it or i'm
not ashamed of sharing it because i
believe you will be learning something
from the experience
know the people around you and evaluate
if they are
helping you out with your personal goals
that will be
that will be helping you discover your
hidden potentials or are they limiting
you from growing or are they
people that are not helping you out
improve or grow as a person and as a
professional
it's really important that this this is
a big part of drug
awareness guys because there will be
some friends
that you think are your friends
however
the intention that they have is really
not of that of a friend
meaning they're only there during times
of good good times but during bad times
they will be leaving you behind
and true friends will never put you into
any form of
of trouble they will not be pushing you
to get into any form of activities that
will be destroying your future
and it's really really important that
you choose the types of individuals that
you surround yourself with
and that is a big part of
how we educate students with regards to
drug education because there will be bad
vices that you will be learning from
bad people or bad influences so learn to
identify if these people around you are
your true friends
or are they
toxic
individuals who are not helping you out
and try to evaluate remember time is
really not the determining factor of
your relationship with people
if they show you red flags don't set
aside those red flags guys it's really
important that you get to find
uh learn to profile individuals
intentions you may think that these are
good people who have good intentions for
you but in the end they are not there
for you they will only be
they will be dragging you down okay
[Music]
now let's look at the final
goal here assist you to make healthy and
safe choices identify risky situations
and develop strategies to prepare for
challenging situations
so again that is a part of the proactive
program that we should have when it
comes to drug education
if there's no buyers
and that will be
people understand that they will be
limiting their potential for growth they
will be limiting their potential for
financial freedom they will be limiting
a lot of things if they get into
any form of drug
abuse or drug usage then
again the market will not be open there
will be no demand
if they get to understand that
[Music]
getting involved in
drug illegal drug activities
will be limiting their potential as an
individual
there will be no sellers because they
understand
uh there are a lot of people who
understand their personal value their
values they have values
that they value themselves that's first
and foremost
there are a lot of people who understand
the that this is not going to be worth
it
so
the choice of not using illegal drugs is
a
free will choice that nobody will be
telling them because they themselves
understand through the education that
they have received
that this will not be helping me achieve
my personal and professional goals
so i will not get into
any form of illegal drugs
activities
okay i just wanted to really emphasize
that in the beginning of the course or
the module that we have here that if
there's no market there will be no
sellers if there are no users there will
be no buyers there will be no sellers
and if a lot of people knows their
potentials their
they have
belief in themselves that they will be
able to achieve their goals
that they will not be engaging into
illegal activities like drug use because
they have so much potentials in front of
them
and they find it really not worth it to
get involved into this activity
drug sellers will not be targeting our
country because we are educated and we
understand our personal value
we value ourselves we
have self-respect for ourselves that's
why
we won't be engaging
into these kinds of activities
