Dear Senior Advisory Committee:

I would love to bring together a senior project about how bad drugs are. I have always loved helping people and showing them the right path to a better life. Some values I hold close to me are generosity and the art of being courteous. This is why I am planning to put together a knowledge quest or a presentation for the secondary students in school.

I will accomplish this project by visiting a person who is an expert on drugs, and finding out more about the effects and consequences they cause in the human body. My men tor will be the person I visit for this information, or maybe anyone who can show me the horrible things drugs will cause. I am planning to teach my audience, the school, about drugs and how it is not

worth getting into them and becoming a victim of addiction. I will also go around my neighborhood handing out flyers with lots of information on drug and what they will do to anyone who uses them.

I will perfect this project by researching various types of drugs that are highly popular among teens. I will use many resources like books, websites, and people. My project will greatly benefit everyone that is in my audience as I present this wonderful project full of information. This will also benefit me because I research I will learn a lot from what information I come across. Whoever listens to what I preach will benefit a lot because I will be teaching them about what drugs will do to you in the future if you start using them now.

I understand that plagiarism means failing the project. I plan to do original work and cite all sources used.

Sincerely,

Francisco Arellano

Nate: Drugs are bad Mike: Nathan, +1 to you sir.

Jorge: Nice Project.

Mr Loessel: This project has much potential. I did a similar project when I was a senior. I planned and held an all school assembly on drug abuse. That was in 1971. I suggest you consider doing the same thing. You might want to contact the San Diego Police Community Relations Department. They may have all the material you need. And no doubt there is an intervention program that could serve as a valuabel resource. That information might also be availble through the SDPD Community Relations office. Let me know how I can help.

Anne: Clarify the format for your final project. How about a Doors to Diplomacy website--possibly bilingual, possibly about cooperation between Mexico and the USA to catch drug smugglers?

﻿ ﻿Carlos- sounds like a good pro  ject try using a lot od grafic pics like a socking view on what could happen to a person when they use drugs  you can even talk about the movement of the drugs in the world and where its more worse
