I was 16 years old in 1992 when a drunken driver hit me. I could not attend the prom and many celebrations. Three hospitals and a therapy clinic made up half of my teenage life.
Today, I can walk OK, and it is a strain dealing with the injuries I received more than 30 years ago. My hearing is damaged. I cannot drive and speak clearly, etc. I’m aware that Lassen High School is having it Prom on May 10. If you are going, enjoy yourself.
For more than 19 years, I have been trying to bring drinking intelligence to all. Alcohol makes you impaired, and people know this. It puzzles me why they, especially teenagers, drive after drinking? Innocent lives have been injured or lost because of behavior like this.
Give any event a noteworthy memory. Prevent yourself and others from driving after drinking. You just saved a life.
