Don't Take Driving for Granted.

Long time no talk! I can't believe I keep doing this. I meant it when I said I wanted to blog more. This summer was so SHORT!!! I think it felt especially short because of the fact that I took summer school in July. That's why I made sure to spend most of my days out of the house in August because I wanted to make the most of the time I had left on break. Okay, I just wanted to express how I was feeling about summer ending because I'm sad to go back to school for junior year.
Anyways, the topic of today's post is to value life and "Don't Take Driving for Granted". I recently watched a video uploaded by SummerBreak and in the video, a girl (forgot her name, sorry) told her story, one by one, to each cast member of the popular web series, Summer Break. Her story was of her family's experience with drunk drivers. It's an absolutely tragic and heartbreaking story, and my heart goes out to her and her loved ones. Her story brought not only myself to tears, but the Summer Break cast as well. I remember in grade 7, I did a media project and I chose my topic to be "Drunk Driving". And it was crazy to find the information I did while researching. And it definitely made me question why some people would do this. One mistake. One small incident can create a tidal wave of an impact. I couldn't imagine losing my family like that.
Please, if you're going to drink, be SMART about it and take a cab home. Get a friend to drive you. But if you know you're going to drink, plan for someone to drive you home AHEAD of time. Don't make the mistake of driving under the influence of alcohol. I hope you all will take the time to watch the video, it's worth a listen.
