Welcome back for week 2 of Operation Aware.
We hope you have had a chance to set a goal for the next eight weeks. Maybe you want to get an “A” on a test or score a goal in your next game. Goals help us stay on our road of life and achieve our goals and dreams.
If you have time before the video, take a moment to think of something good that has happened this week. When I have the chance to teach Operation Aware in person, I love to hear good things that are happening for my students. even when it feels like nothing is going right, there is always something we can find that is positive; we call this finding good news. We will practice finding good news over the next seven weeks.

As you review this information, please be aware that we intend to provide you with the knowledge to make the best choice for you. People who use nicotine products are not bad people, most often they would not encourage their own child to try it because they know how hard it can be to quit once someone starts. Remember to write down any questions you have and submit them so we can provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision.
