Jeff was headed off to Georgia State University for his first semester as a sophomore. He had worked very hard to get accepted to GSU and through most of his senior year was duel enrolled just to get a head. He was the first to go away, and his mom Jessica had sacrificed many years by working two jobs in order to save the money needed for her sons’ tuition. She was very proud of Jeff.
After kissing his mom goodbye and giving her a big hug, he was off to college. Jeff left at 7:00 am Saturday and arrived at 12:00 noon. After getting settled into his new dorm room that afternoon, Jeff met up with a few of his new found college buddies, they all decided to chip in and buy a few cases of beer to celebrate their first semester of College. Nobody was of legal drinking age, so they called on Mike, a freshman they meet earlier in the day. He had a fake ID that seemed to work at the local convenient store. The celebration started at 5:30 pm.
By 8:30 pm the boys were half way into the beers and started to get hungry. Jeff was the only one with a car, but did not feel he could drive. Mike quickly volunteered and within minutes they were headed to a local burger joint.
At 3:13 am Jessica, Jeff’s mom arrived at the hospital. She was greeted by Officer Jones. Mrs. Green, I’m sorry to inform you that your son Jeff lost his life in a car accident last evening at 8:42 pm. His friend Mike was driving under the influence of alcohol and ran a red light. The vehicle was broadsided by a semi-truck.
Some tragedies can be avoided. As parents and students, it is your responsibility to do the right thing. If you are going to drink, drink responsibly and never drive. In a matter of minutes a bad decision can change your life forever.
