Dancing onto the Court

by Anna (Mililani), age 12

My substances consist of dance, volleyball, and spending quality time with my family/friends. The reason I love dance is because it makes me feel above my stress and all of my worries. Its just a time for me to let out all of my negative emotions on the dance floor. Volleyball allows me to feel part of a team which makes me feel whole. Knowing they have my back is a great bonus. Last but not least, family time. When we are out together we call it a “family day.” On these days my life often feels whole or complete when we are all bonding.
