My name is Jimmy Doan and I am writing this paper on making good choices.
My choices have put me in many bad predicaments and this one is by far my biggest lesson that I had to learn. I am a very smart young man sometimes I just let certain things get the best of my personality. Making good choices is about thinking about the things that you are about to do before you do it. I was smoking weed and not thinking about how it would affect me or the people around me. I was only thinking of myself until I got in trouble. I am not a bad young man at the moment I was just making bad choices.
I would like to start making better choices like doing better in school and in my job. I would like to one day be a manager of a car dealership and I know that by smoking weed that will only slow me down. By making better choices I am studying more and trying to do better in my classes so that I can graduate on time and continue on my path. Once I get out of high school I will start college so that I can get a business degree so that when it is time for me to move up in my field I will be properly educated.

Choices aren't always made by peer pressure another factor is a role model. For many kids their role models are a favorite singer, athlete, or their parents. Based on what they do, we think
