Cydney Maddox is a senior at Lassiter High School, and she is President of the school's Teen Advisory Council (TAC) chapter. In her own words: "In TAC, we implement community level change strategies to combat the growing rate of prescription drug abuse and addiction in our community. Ever since I first got involved in TAC during my sophomore year, I have been able to make a tremendous difference in the lives of my neighbors and peers. My passion for prevention stems from Kaitlin Merchan’s and Connor Nettels’s belief that individual students can be leaders and make a difference. Drug prevention is so important to me personally, that is the subject of my Gold Award. Outside of school, I like to serve my community in Girl Scouts and learn about languages and cultures. I hope to attend Hampton University this fall, majoring in international studies and minoring in Spanish."
