PART TWO COMPETENCES

SECTION B - READING COMPREHENSION ( 10MKS)

READ the following passage carefully and answer the question below .

MY STORY

My name is john. I was a drug addict . I’m sure you have read stories like this before. My story about drug
addiction is not unique , but I did find a way out of my addiction and I want others to know about it.

It all started five years ago . like most of me friends at school, I started experimenting with alcohol and
tobacco .

“ come on, “ said my friend , “ drinking makes you feel so good”. And one thing led to another . soon we
were having several drinks every night . We played music and of course we smoked while we were drinking
too. It was the cool and sophisticated thing to do. All our sports icons and film stars were doing it . we
bought cigarettes and alcohol on the black market because it was cheaper than going to the shops.
2/4
 We didn’t know that the nicotine in cigarettes was addictive . we didn’t know that consuming tobacco is
connected to cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks, as well as strokes, cancer, respiratory diseases and
diabetes. A senior official from the ministry of public health has said “ tobacco sells easily on the black market,
with ravaging effects on the economy and citizens. The whole society shares in its effects .” we continued to
think it was cool. As far as we were concerned , there were no negative effects.

Then we started experimenting with cannabis – what some people call “ weed”. We tried other drugs too. “
just a little – just to feel what it is like “; we told ourselves. We enjoyed feeling “high”. It made us feel
powerful and free. Soon we wanted more and more of the drugs. We became addicted quite quickly . and it
was a downhill road from there!

My parent saved me . They noticed that I was starting to look for excuses to skip school . My grades
weren’t as good as before. I didn’t want to talk to my family . I didn’t want to play football with my friends
any more. I withdrew in to my world of drug addiction .

“ you need help “, said my dad. We think you may have a drug problem “.

“ no , I’m fine, I replied. “ please don’t worry about me. I just feel a bit depressed. I can look after my self.”

“ I think you need more than self- help. You need to talk to a counselor,” said mum. “ There is a group of
healthcare professionals in town who offer advice and support . we’ll take you there and they sill help you.
You can talk to a support group about your depression. They may prescribe medication and group therapy
sessions to help you. They involve your family as well”.

I was reluctant to g , but something inside me told me that my parent were right. So I went along for
rehabilitation . Amy wine house famously sang about her addictions in her song rehab. She struggled too, and
perhaps she didn’t get the help she needed.

I am lucky. The therapy worked for me and today I am back to my old self. I am doing well at school again. I
feel positive. But I no longer drink, smoke or take drugs. Instead I get “ high” on exercise and spending quality
time with my friends and family.
