so tell me about your club what is sad ok so i am an officer of sod club which is students against the start of decisions and basically it's just a group of students from b t h s that we all come together and we just kind of spread the word and just kind of get out to the rest of the school about the destructive this is and you can make as a teenager and like how to prevent those from happening what you can do to get yourself out of the situations what you can do in those types of situations i mean really just show like the outcomes of those being put in those making those bad decisions and it really is just to shine a light on that aspect of those like crazy decision he can make in high school that's awesome why did you choose to join  club i chose aside because i knew about them aakash and i was really interested in that and how deeply that affects a lot of the people so that was really the only thing that i knew about it going into it but as i joined and i met some of the people and i was really interested and i just thought  of something that seemed really well did you know from the beginning of your high school career how long you've been in this club i spose in my freshman year and my sophomore year and then this is my third year and my first years officer ok did you always know you're going to join it or like you a crash but yeah i did i think i saw the mock crash from the previous year before my freshman year and that really got me interested in it and then i joined freshman year how did you become a class officer or an officer for the club we had a huge class of seniors last year so  they were like selected we have two teachers that are like our sponsors and it's mrs neff in mr mccarthy so they like selected we have five officers this year and they just picked from the group of us that were there they picked from the seniors and then we have two junior officers as well ok who is the other junior officer marburg and does she feel the same way about yeah we both kind of put into it together because i've been friends with her for a long time so we both kind of like discussed it before hand how we were going to like  feel it was something that i was interested in my freshman year and i think that after going through it i realized that business wasn't what i was going to pursue like in college and i was interested in i'm interested in decision making stuff like that that really interest me a lot so i just thought that was a good fit for me in the n h s for college applications and stuff like that that's really good on stuff like do you have a lot of meetings for sad club and we need about once a month and then the officers me as we meet once a month as like a full club and then the officers meet once or twice more than that a month ok and then sometimes we have like meetings for just pacific people to do like little jobs ok how do you balance that with everything else that you do i know you play basketball well it's actually not that hard or meetings i thought long and we always kind of have a game plan going into each of the meetings we know we want to get done and so we go and we do those and then the on your college application yeah it's something that it's one of those like leadership roles that looks good on college applications but i think that junior year is the year that everybody kind of is like faced with those decisions and you're going into adulthood and so i thought that it was like  conference earlier this year at seven springs and we're there all day and we listen to a bunch of speakers there is a mom who lost her son and it leaves you with this like life lessons that you just keep with you when you're a member and as you're faced with those like decisions it you play those memories in your head and you realize that like that's probably something that you don't want to do so would you recommend people join a club their freshman year like sticking with it or like join a club like i don't you can join whenever i do my freshman year and i  got used to a lot of the people and i think that if you join freshman year that's probably why i'm an officer now i've been kind of like with the program i guess you could say for three years so it's it gives you more experience in your kind of just around the people the teachers the sponsors but you can join a club whenever we've had people that are seniors and are just joining for the first time this year how did you make the decision to try to become a club officer at the end of last year during the m maher who's the other junior officer and i we can talk about what we wanted to do for the mock crash because of course the next one is our senior year sort of kind of the us planning it and we had a like discussion with the sponsors of the club and they both said that we would be officers just to kind of get that leadership role before taking on something like the mock crash as big as it is some are and i and the other three officers have just kind of thought through like what we want to do this year like with people in different ways you meet new people it's just like a fun way to do stuff like that my school so to become a leader was there like an interview process or anything it was more like we both sat down with our teachers at the end of last year and the sponsors kind of just discussed with us like what we needed to do what was involved in the planning and stuff so after that it really was they decided in the end we found out at the beginning of this year but it was really just who could take on that role of playing the stuff i was going to affect like all the seasons and how we could make the club have an impact on all the students here what else does that club do we do the mock crash  suicide awareness month like depression awareness month and it's every month so we have that outside the boats and boards and then right now actually in front of the school we have the outline of the body in what that is is it's an outline of a body and then you see like the caption it says it was only one text and so what that is is it's just showing you like the real the realisation of what can happen if you actually do text and drive and i believe that as a club we're going to have one appeared to kind of suit the the statistics of how many people are in car accidents from driving from drinking and driving and we're going to make it as realistic as possible for students here so every week or so every two weeks or so another one will come up in another part of the school and then by the end of the  see how much of an impact it really has and how many of those people on the ground build up and you really see how many it is so does your club do anything like outside of the school will this year it be an to the side p a conference in seven springs and there was like eight hundred kids i think it was from like sixty different schools around p a and we spent a day there where we went to different seminars it was like we played this game show is like a school and you really try to interact with a bunch of different peoples people from side clubs around like all the different schools so we do that outside and then our meetings are sometimes outside of school like me like starbucks or something go over stuff we want to do but other than that it's really just in school that's awesome it sounds like you're having if you will what can you do going into college i know i keep going you know i do you know what can you do like transferring into college like what is there anything that you can do to continue stuff like this it's more like a personal thing i believe like in college it's not really you can major in something with like helping somebody with decision making of course but it's more of a personal thing where like i said stuff like that sticks with you i know for me personally hearing the stories about like the families that lose someone close to them or i remember lusher in the mokka witness ferguson talk about losing her best friend in high school stuff like that sticks with you so that's more of like a personal thing where it's always just kind of in the back of your head like making those decisions you know the outcomes and you know what could happen to you how's this impacted you personally i think that the stories that we've been like exposed to even testing people out for like places like the things like that the side conference the people that spoke there they've all been like really really really impactful and i don't know if it's the personal like is ation of their stories or just the detail they go into but stuff like that not interest me but god is my tension and just really sticks with mia that do you think you want to pursue anything like later with having to do it just like side activity i do think that right now it's more just like an additional activity for me to do it's something that is like a hobby i guess it interests me i don't i'm not sure what i want to do in college yet but i don't think i'm going to go into anything with like this the decision making process but has it helped you with like deciding yeah colleges and yeah i like i mean i guess i think that i want to go into some sort of like physician assistant so but helps with like trying to help people i've always been like pretty personable and like wanted to be around people so that
