His friend got a "B" but David stuck it out nd took his "F" grade. David oes not believe in quitting anything. Last year he made it up and got an "A" grade.&nbsp;</P> <P>Peer pressure is tough for most people including David. "When I was in Polar Bluff," said David, "there wasn't a whole lot to do, so a lot of kids used alcohol. Up here at Hazelwood East, it was easier. I have always thought it was stupid to get involved in alcohol or drugs. It's like putting a gun to your face. I ended up getting a girlfriend who was morally, academically and spiritually squared away. When we went out, we studied and had fun without drugs or alcohol. I won't have it - being around people who drink.&nbsp;</P> <P>"I have never had any kind of drug and that includes marijuaa. I have never had a beer, ever! I don't drink. No one really gave me peer pressure. I think people respect you when you take a firm stand. People would say, 'Cool. That's good.' I have never seen anything good come out of it. It doesn't make you rich or healthy.&nbsp;</P> <P>"I believe in being a good Christian. The spiritual area of life is the most important part of life. You can have your football and school but you need to have thehol people start respecting you and eventually they just stop asking. There is always other things to do like going to the movies, etc. I alsobelieve part of leadership is being a good role model because tiny eyes are always watching. <br> It s nice to have people around you who believe in you, asserte Conrad.  I am lucky to have such wonderful parents, family, friends and teammates. <br><br>Proper Perspective<br><br>The following is part of Conrad s valedictorian speech:  In the ancient Greek Olympic Games, the motto was enkrateutes, prosexairo, pera - faster, higher, further. It was not faster than every one else, higher than the rest of the competition, or further than anyone else. Just faster, higher and farther. Today, I am going to tell you the two things that everyone must have in order to take themselves faster, higher and further. <br>The first thing you must have is faith. You ust have faith in yourself and faith in God. First is faith in God, He has a plan for each and every one of us. We must trust Him and the plan He has for us and try to follow it as He wants us to. You must know that through it all He is always there for you. He loves you no matter what, and He will be beside you no matter what. He will be there to carry you when you are down or having problems. You must learn to give your problems to Him and trust that He will take care of you.<br>Then you must have faith in yourself. You must never care what other people think about you because there will always be doubters, and those who make fun of youXeL B'BH mn]#>˧*^)# "[LtdDÝƀ^ZW7/?Dyr-8E$n"$ Qe( #n`yF1WAu:|X`?KAa,`zթ}9 qHrA6;G*yQhSdvm2s㴎c8q$fCo8-p۩GBЦq;w E̙BKnI,~Q?}qO+)QV/ʋ*";tjnW}C{|a [Yth09VB- ˸+qƔG(p?Wg&HQd(w_e".:Sj|Y(aj,msC} 娨Kt"zO J+~WYv]Aݸ4#®x4 PGDs)ʏ"OsfDu!]{px m+C# YO X# (B \KK\ScV AyH )4 xiFsH kۙ֠<=?I,7,p bIJ7uE.Tmb ֶ-ʳb4$Ghէy#P!K1Ǜq+mA3d[iTnh1L)~ / 見 8vUwlLSat(Q>)!>U*_gx :V.ݙScec= =ܶMY\^cwSwit>O19˲ l{3[5DC89X!9^gLdSk #wBw:"wP\Gs?5R] Z5p qT%Ṇ,w<_ԲI- āSuggp`t0iut45dO Sqdl- Ȑ7d!gedlȩ?I[Lr_ 6ޫ()N 8BIM!UAdobe PhotoshopAdobe Photoshop 7.08BIMHhttp://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/ kFO(-Azu gU_}Kk~UAv(@B HpQbgɳEzlFN {}yPʒ".H>L8HJ.#e-O ZFэ.5v/76*x3_{a7EgZ8]fRm܍@ ױ8OR" Ypm)nbyi{m/k)KSm;qgO^p8ͼ 2ozUn441EKg}BCm<RZ2BR~4pR$v ]aʢŊ0N55gCbX$l Mݻz2wLSzNݔhT Y'\mqj*X)*:k&tĜ/ >5"rybM4,$7ֿK.A7<(/]G ڜC$k(j=t zs{ }U6Cަ۸܎5"@rpaphxj-]&9D2S{_J3OXhnd@[Fa/V.I$?܅P-$
