Summer!

Okay, so I know I haven't blogged in a while...I'm going to get better. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and being safe. It's going by so fast; I have been volunteering in my community as well as preparing for the Miss Black USA Talented Teen pageant which is at the end of the month. I recently completed my peer education program-D.I.V.A. Demanding to Inform Vibrant Adolescents which is apart of my platform during my reign as Miss Black North Carolina USA Talented Teen 2009. Boy, did I learn a lot as I was going through training. A part of being a peer educator opens doors for me to talk to other teenagers about STDs, HIV, AIDs, peer pressure, and self-esteem. Not only did I just get to talk about these important things I also got to be about it. I assisted with some rapid HIV testing. Although many people are afraid to know whether they have a STD or HIV/AIDs, it is very important that people get tested so the appropriate actions can be taken from there.
