Hey, what’s up. My name is Corazzon Medina, I am currently attending Pecos Connections Academy and this is going to be my second year in Evolvement. I decided to join the Leadership Team because not only did I want to be part of a change, but I wanted to make a change in my community and New Mexico as a whole. Through the Leadership Summit I have gained a little more confidence. I also feel like I am ready to finally be more involved in my community and now, with the help of Evolvement, I know how to do that. Evolvement has helped me with my people skills and has given me the confidence to tell more people about Evolvement and everything we do so that they can join us and help us too. The reason why I decided to join Evolvement was because I had always wanted to make a change that would help a lot of people, but I never knew what I could do. Then Evolvement had a presentation at my school and I knew that if I joined Evolvement, not only would I be helping my community, but I would be helping teens my age, the next generation in our world. Stopping sales to minors and stopping the use of not only tobacco products but flavored tobacco products in school would help lower the number of students getting addicted to tobacco and having to live with that the rest of their lives. Stopping the use of flavored tobacco products would lower sales because the flavors are what appeals to the minors buying the products. I go to school with teens that started using tobacco products because of the flavors and only for the flavors. Join us and help stop the use of tobacco products in school and help stop the sales to minors.
