Journal question #14

Drugs are a huge problem in America.  Opioid abuse (e.g., Heroin, Oxycodone, other prescription and street drugs) is in the news now because of the number of deaths they cause.  But there are lots of drugs that don't necessarily kill you but hurt you anyway: alcohol, marijuana, LSD, crystal meth, tranquilizers, etc.  Here's the question: why do people, especially young people, take drugs?  Are you interested in "experimenting" with drugs?  Why or why not?  

Journal Question #13

Music - I don't know how I'd live without it: classical, jazz, rock, pop, blues, folk, bluegrass, hip-hop, R&B, soul, gospel, and on and on - there's no end to the types of music in the world.  Is music important to you?  Do you have a favorite kind of music?  A favorite musician/singer?  When do you listen to music - and does the kind of music you listen to change according to time of day, season, mood, etc? Talk about music!
