If I had a superpower, it would be to stop the abuse of drugs and alcohol. On Thursday we went to a shelter for women and their children, St. Margaret de Porres. We volunteered to help out with the kids, but we also heard the stories of some of the lives of the women. Listening, I felt bad because they all talked about how their lives were messed up because of drugs and alcohol. If that were stopped, many people in the Woodlawn community would be a little happier and more successful.
The church offered to help the women with their education and resumes. I thought that if more people can reach out to save others lives, then I can as well. Just knowing how addictions can turn from feeling like you're on Cloud 9 to feeling like you are in the lowest pit of the earth can stop one from even trying drugs and alcohol. Drugs and alcohol in Woodlawn are available all over. If my power would stop people from trying and using, many people would be cleaner. Lots of children around are neighborhood would stop doing stupid stuff, like smoking weed and skipping school. If I were a superhero, many people would have safer, healthier, and happier lives.
