A TRUE STORY AND CONSIDER THIS IN THE UPCOMING NEW YEAR!
I went to the party an...d remembered what you said. You asked me not to drink alcohol. So I drank a Sprite. I felt proud of myself, as you said I should feel. You said I should not drink and drive, contrary to what some friends told me. I made a healthy choice and your advice was correct, as all you give me forever.
When the party finally ended, people began to drive without being able to do so. I went to my car with the certainty that he would return home in peace. I never imagined what awaited me, Mom. Now I'm lying in the street and I hear the policeman say: "The kid that caused this accident was drunk." Mom, his voice seems so distant. My blood is spilled everywhere and I'm trying with all my might not moan. I can hear the doctors say, "This girl is going to die." I have the certainty that the young man, who ran at full speed, decided to drink and drive, and now I have to die.
Why do people do this, Mom, knowing that this is going to ruin many lives? The pain is cutting me like a hundred knives. Tell my sister not to cry, tell Daddy to be strong. And when I go to heaven, I'll be watching for you all. Someone should have taught that boy is wrong to drink and drive. Maybe if his parents would have said, I would not be dying now. My breath is getting weaker, more and more. Mom, these are my last moments and I feel so desperate. I wish I could hug Mom, while I'm lying here dying. I wish I could tell you how much I love you, Mom. So .. I love ... y. .. goodbye ... "

did not know they were doing these for New Years Eve as well! Years ago (my Sr. year) we did an 'Operation Prom Night' It had a lot of impact in our little town. I even read the 'eulogy' for the girl hanging out the window. (in our case it was the athletic star of our school) but I know I have seen many other school doing these over the years and it does have a LOT of impact on the kids!
ReplyDeleteI don't like being a party pooper, but i dont like paying $40k a year to study at a top journalism school and see fabrication go unnoticed, so yes this parable does teach a lesson but unfortunately, or rather, fortunately, isn't true.
