It was a while ago but this awful tragedy I can still see I can hear those dreadful words come out of my mouth "it wont happen to me" Ive watched the news heard about all the deaths on T.V. but all that came into my mind are those ignorant words "it wont happen to me" I drove to a party with my best friend drinking, laughing, and thinking ive been blessed with immortality I suddenly start to think about those tragic deaths on T.V. but I keep thinking, "it wont happen to me" I start to lose control of the car but still not worrying about anything my friend is in the front seat getting drunk as can be the next thing i saw was a wall that jumped out suddenly the last thing i heard were screams and glass breaking the look of terror that I wish I didnt have to see I woke up in the hospital with bandages and medicine everywhere the doctor came in and told me "im sorry, your friend did not make it" and I thought life was unfair to be at that funeral to hear her parents cry, saying "how can this be?" all because I kept convincing myself with those 5 words: "it wont happen to me" well, guess what? it did happen to me and it can happen to you too if you cannot see if you care about your friends and family take my advice that i wish i would have knew dont drink and drive and just remember that it can happen to you too
Reason for writing:
this is not a true story about me...but i have been taking drivers education, and have really been inspired by the videos we have been watching. I would also like to make people aware of the consequences of drunk driving, and that it can result in a devastating tragedy.
