The course was very informing on not only substances but informing on the reasoning behind taking substances and the signs you go through leading up to addiction. This course was useful for the view of self and things you can do as a person to improve and be more confident.

One topic that stood out to me in this course was how emotions and decision-making are connected. I learned that emotional pain and peer pressure can strongly influence the choices I make, sometimes without me fully realizing it. Through this class, I also learned more about myself, especially how quickly a situation can change when alcohol is involved. This course helped me reflect on my past decisions and understand the importance of thinking ahead, setting boundaries, and making safer choices moving forward.

Reflection

Ethan T.

During this online course I have learned a lot about myself and some of the internal things I can change. When I enrolled with this course to help get my underage drinking citation reduced I thought this course would just focus on the negative influences of drug and alcohol not the internal thoughts and character development of one. I learned that my childhood and perception of myself is a big factor into my decision making process and can be partially contributed to the often wrong decisions I make. I liked the course having the lectures from Kareem and then having other online modules like the poems and documents which gave other insights. I learned more about myself through self reflection and the importance of taking more looks at my self to help solve internal issues and problems.

A different perspective

Matt B.

I honestly have heard a lot of the things that you spoke about during this course. However, I have never had them explained to me in depth. This class has changed my mindset for the future and has taught me to think a lot more before I make my decisions. When I first started the class I had a very negative outlook on it because I was upset about my ticket. However, after starting to pay attention and work I started to realize that this information could really help me and turn me onto a better path in life.

What I learned that I didn’t know…

Sophia B.

I learned that the way you think about yourself reflects about how others can act toward you. I didn’t really self-reflect as much as I had before this course as well. I learned the importance of goal setting, how to get to where I want to be in my life, and also the tremendous effects drugs, alcohol, parenting, and childhood have on a developing brain.

Realization...

Trinity M.

I learned I need to see a therapist for my deeply rooted childhood trauma. I also learned I’m doing better than most people because I don’t have a drug or alcohol addiction. But I did learn the steps it takes to become addicted, how to recover, and the many ways I can help myself out of dark places I can end up in. I take away from this course that I need to be more careful with my actions.

Learning Experience

Mauriella B.

I had to take this drug and alcohol class due to an incident where I was caught underanged drinking. At first, I thought I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and that I shouldn’t have got caught so easily but I realized there is a lot more to underage drinking other than the fact it’s illegal. I learned the stages to becoming an addict which scare me because I never want to go through that. I also learned that the younger you are, the higher the change of becoming an addict. I will be a lot more Intune with myself after this class. I thought it was very interesting how a big factor or underage drinking is pushed on to you by television, songs, and your environment. I watched shows or movies where kids would be underage drinking and smoking. I also listen to a lot of rap music where alcohol is motioned. I think I was most influenced by my surrounding where all my friends would carelessly underage drink with no thought, so I thought it was okay to participate as well. Now knowing the potential outcomes, I will not be participating anymore.

Takeaways...

Daisy S.

Every single one of my decisions affects every single part of my life in some way. I have in the past used to get away or forget a feeling or a negative experience I had. I learned the ways to develop a self love for myself and a positive mindset. I learned a lot about addiction and how so many different stages of life can affect your day to day decisions. I didn’t know how addictive alcohol and marijuana could be. My offense was not so severe but this course was extremely beneficial to me.

Ah ha

Connor G.

This class helped me learn a lot about myself. Learning about my up bringing and how that could affect me and the choices that I make was very surprising. this class helped me to learn why I feel the way that I feel sometimes. I also found it very interesting when learning about the processes to making changes. So far in my life I haven't gone by any rule book to make changes but kind of just walked blindly and did my best. I can use what I learned in that section too make that easier going forward. Going along with making changes learning about the character deficits and how to fix them was very informational to me. I think the view that this course took is a very helpful way to think about how to improve yourself as a person. I am very appreciative of this class even though I wasn't too excited about it in the beginning because it helped me get in touch with what my real problems were and how to fix them. With that I say thank you.

What I learned

Katelynn G.

Throughout this online course I have learned alot about myself. When I first registered to take this class I was just trying to finish to get my certificate and help me dismiss my underage drinking ticket; however, I never imagined that it would strongly focus on my internal thoughts and character development. I thought this class was just going to teach me the negative effects of drugs and alchol but it did so much more than that. I enjoyed how the lectures were set up and how not only did I have classes taught by Kareem but also assignments that explained many things in depth. I had never really taken the time to self-reflect before this class. It helped me alot and has had a huge impact on me and my future.

Charis L

I found this course very interesting. Going in, I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect. I honestly thought the course would have been more condescending on my previous mistakes and I was really appreciative that it was more about self reflection instead.

Not what I Expected

Joshua E.

Taking this class I essentially thought it would be stupid and just a waste of my time, but I learned more about myself which led to me to start thinking about going to therapy to fix some of my mental illnesses that are caused by me self-sabotaging myself.
