Hello everyone! its me blogger 1. Sorry I haven't been blogging lately but my life has been crazy. Well anyways I did something different. I went to a MADD annual gathering hosted at la sale high school. For those who don't know what MADD is it is an organization that stands for Mothers Against Destructive Decisions. Blogger 2 and I are both in the clubs SADD (students against destructive decisions) and Blogger 2 was one of the poem readers which is an honor to any creative minded person. The gathering was speaking about the awareness of drunk driving and what effect its causing to everyone. I saw and herd many terrible stories about drunk driving accidents until i herd a woman , and a mother speak about her passed away son from a tragic accident. When i herd the tone of her voice i felt heart-broken knowing that she will never see her son again. I thought of my mom, dad, or sister dieing because someone was drunk driving and I felt even more heart-broken. I have been through a similar situation not so long ago. About 5 years ago a girl named Kelly went to my school, took the same bus as me, and lived three houses away from me. She was my babysitter and i looked at her as if she was my big sister. Last year I found out that she died from a drug overdose. I was shocked at first even though i haven't talked to her in many years. It just shows you even if you think you know someone you really don't. Well the gathering turned out really great and made me want to do all that I can to stop people from drunk driving. I don't want anyone to feel the way I had when I found out that Kelly, my friend, died because of her decision. Even though Drunk driving and a drug overdose is different they still can ruin the lives of family's and friends. If you are reading this please join a group that can help the awareness of drunk driving or destructive decisions because life is a gift and you only get that gift once.
