For many college students, their weekends on campus involve drinking and trying drugs. Bethany Kludt is not a typical college student. According to her, she has no interest in alcohol or drugs. Growing up Christian, Kludt learned that drugs and alcohol have the power to ruin people’s lives. She had seen this first hand. Through her church, she would volunteer with a program to help troubled youths through the power of God. Kludt would hear first-hand how teenagers destined for great things in life succumb to drugs and alcohol and have their lives ruined. As a nursing student, she also sees patients admitted to the hospital for alcohol and drug-related conditions. She knows how drugs and alcohol can damage a person’s liver and pancreas.
Another reason Kludt does not want to do drugs or alcohol is that it will deter her from one of her hobbies; bikini competitions. For these contests, Kludt has to keep her body fat percentage as low as possible to show off her physique. To Kludt, drinking alcohol will lead to ingesting empty calories that will only ruin her physique and cause her to miss workouts.
While college students take the weekend to drink to excess and experiment with drugs, Kludt will not be in that club. She knows how to have fun without using mind-altering substances. Bethany Kludt does not want to risk everything she has accomplished because of taking these substances.
