Life Education

Over the past two weeks a person came to SAMS and. They taught every class in this school. They thought us about Drugs. We had four classes, the first lesson we had to watch a video; it was like an introduction to drugs. It was a guy called Trevor He was the owner of life education. He talked about everyone is special and unique the other thing was to be kind to each other he said that a lot of times because it is very important. The other thing he talked about is everyone is different even if they were identical twins there is a huge difference. The second whole subject was the journey through puberty. Puberty is the journey we have to take in older to become an adult. He says there are seven steps to puberty (So seven years) you start your childhood so about nine to fifteen years old. And then he starts talking about drugs how it affects your brain and your body He told us that some are good and some are bad and he talked bit more about drugs and that was our first lesson.

The second lesson we went to Herald the giraffe’s class room. We learned there what Trevor said but more detailed and we watched small videos about their friends or their self about what happened when they took drugs and we heard a story about a student in Kings College he drank a whole bottle of vodka (that is supposed to be 40 slandered drinks) and he died.

The second lesson was about what happens if you take drugs and leaned about the web of addictions it is basically we are the fly and the web is the addiction and the spider is the thing that kills us. And we learned about that if you take drugs some parts of your brain is week like short term memory so we will forget what we did yesterday.

The third lesson we learned about drugs what kind of name are there for certain drugs and the definition and how it looks like. At the very last Herald the giraffe showed up (puppet) and his big friend called Big G and they sang a song about drugs and that’s all we learned in Life Education. It was a good experience that is good for the future.
