Spending my morning in DARE every Friday was something that I learned that I would use for my whole life. Some things I learned in DARE were the DARE Decision Making Model. The model is Define, Assess, Respond and Evaluate. This model taught me safe and responsible choices to make in life. While I was in DARE, I learned not to do drugs and that making good choices is the right thing to do. Something I learned from DARE that I will use in life is to not ever do drugs. Be confident and stand up for yourself. Being in DARE has taught me a lot that I will use in life. Being in DARE will make me succeed. And I want to thank Deputy Jenny Parker for teaching me these important things that she has taught me. Thank you Deputy Jenny and the hard work you put into teaching me and my class.
