M.A.D.D Presentation

This morning, Marshall Mcluhan had a presentation of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. I felt that this presentation must be shown to everyone in the school because now that students are into drinking and soon to be driving, it should be a good message to send to everyone before they get behind the wheel driving. A speaker from Mother Against Drunk Drivers, Albert,  came in and showed us a video of people who witness or was vitims of car accidents or crashes. I found this presentation very effective to me and i assume others as well. When i walked in the autorium this morning i though it would not be beyond the point where it showed frightful images of people that could happen to anyone. The presentation hit me in the heart because it felt so real, and it could happen to anyone at anytime and any place. When watching the video, i felt very uncomfortable because it showed the reality of crashes happening when a drink diver get behind the wheel or a drunk driver hits anyone. i felt upset that those people telling their story was probably hard to tell in front of the camera and showing the world how it's like when it happen to them. Those people that went through a whole lot from drunk driving had a hard time moving on.  For them they say time doesn't help heal the pain when you see something that remebers the time it happened.  In my mind, I know it doesn't effect me in anyway because I never had family in a car crash or been in a huge crash but i know i won't ever feel there pain but i feel bad because i cant share it with them. I wish i could be there and just comfort them . They tell themselves its not going to be okay and it's very difficult because they don't ever want to look back at the tragic event. When i was little, i was sitting in the front seat while my dad was driving and we were gonna turn when he hit a car driving straight and we crashed but it wasnt a big dent in the car. I can't imagine how hard it is to get over something that felt. Overal this presentation got me to think about making the right choice and always try and prevent my friends or anyone driving drunk.
