Our Club member, Taryn, had the unique opportunity of throwing out the first pitch at the @rangers game! Taryn is an exceptional student and participates in AVID, choir, and basketball. He gives back to his community by volunteering at Cancer Care Services. He is always willing to go the extra mile at home and help out with his younger siblings. He plans to attend #LSU and become an electrical engineer. Taryn is a participant in our Building Industry Leaders Program, a program that partners with professionals from the Urban Land Institute North Texas, where he is learning how to develop land into #commercialproperty. #greatfutures #texasrangers #youth
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, nicotine in any form is a highly addictive drug. Whether it’s work, sports, family or school, you have plenty of excuses to say ‘no’ to smoking AND vaping.
Según el Instituto Nacional sobre el Abuso de Drogas, la nicotina en cualquiera de sus formas es una droga altamente adictiva. Ya sea en el trabajo, en el deporte o en la escuela, tienes bastantes pretextos para decir ‘no’ a fumar Y a vapear.
When peer pressure to drink arises, it’s nice to have your own tricks to navigate those situations. Apple juice in a red plastic cup can help get you through tricky situations.
Cuando aumente la presión social de beber, es bueno tener tus propios trucos para lidiar con estas situaciones. Tener jugo de manzana en un vaso de plástico rojo puede ayudarte a salir airoso de situaciones difíciles.
It may sound weird, but role-playing real-life situations involving drugs and alcohol with your parents can be a really helpful way to practice saying no and prepare for tempting situations. #drugfreetx
