when the VGH nurse came in she focused lots on the effects of vaping and alcohol. The main takeaway I have from her presentation was about how we are or getting to the age where you want to try new things and most of us are almost at the legal age. Many people around us at school vape on a daily basis and learning about the effects on what it does to your body and mental health has made me absolutely never want to try it. During her presentation she went in depth about what happens when you drink too much and how your body just shuts down. Being educated on how to take care of people who have drank too much was super insightful and a useful thing to know about.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency Reflection

I can analyze my own beliefs and confused views that do not fit with them. I do this by not judging anyone for what they do or try. I am pretty against vaping but I wouldn’t ever not be friends with someone because they do or tried it. My personal beliefs and preferences shouldn’t and don’t reflect on anyone else’s decision making. Obviously if it started to be an issue I would help to try and guide that friend in the right direction.
