My good allows me to focus on my academic studies that will help me get to college. I choose not to use drugs because I want to get an academic scholarship. My good allows me to connect me with other people that are serious about school.

Boxing is my good.

I box every day from 5-8. I like boxing because it’s good exercise, I get to meet new people, and my dad likes it. Boxing is my good, it’s why I choose not to use.
