Tre, 16

My name is Tre’. I’m from Louisiana and I’m a sophomore in high school. Some of my favorite activities are playing basketball, playing in the band, and helping out in our school Beta Club. Outside of school, I love to fish, make music, and I’m a D.A.R.E. representative for my state. After I finish high school, I plan to be either a music teacher or a marine biologist. 

By being a part of D.A.R.E and helping to educate others about drugs, my hope is that I will be able to help someone better understand the reality of the choices presented to them in life. I know what it feels like to be pressured to do something I knew was not a good choice. I’ve been asked by my friends to drink and to smoke. I simply told them “No, I do not do any of those things.” Since then, my friends still respect me and I have even had a friend quit smoking because of my choice to do what was best no matter what.
