Rickie Lee Jones
A song, the sound of a person’s voice, a color, a smell – any of these can trigger a memory. Your mind stores an amazing number or memories, from the smallest to the largest life events: a birthday party, a kind word, a graduation ceremony, a hug from a friend, bread baking in the over, a kiss…. And you never know when a memory will pop into your head. What you do today will be tomorrow’s memories for you (and may be someone else).

Some questions have either a right or a wrong answer. Should I go to School? Should I finish my homework? Should I drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes? You know the right answers to questions like these. The wrong answers can cause problems for you. If you’re already carrying more than your share of problems, don’t make things worse for yourself. If you need support or encouragement, tell an adult you trust.
