"The scene itself from the docudrama didn't give me chills but the words from the police officer afterwards is what got to me. The way he explained everything he has to do and what he has to wake up to in the middle of the night. He said that he does this job so no one else has to. He does this job so his kids never have to. Officer Dale really got to me when he spoke to us especially when he spoke about when he has to go to the family's house, pull up into a driveway that he has never pulled into before, and tell a family that their child isn't coming home. It's the longest walk of his life, and that two word speech is the longest speech he has ever had to give. His job has to be one of the hardest jobs, but I respect him for choosing to do it for his kids, neighbors, community and even me. This day has inspired me to want to be a better me. To do the very best that I can and do everything I can possibly do to ensure the safety of myself and the others around me that step into a motor vehicle. I never text and drive but I have been in multiple cases where I have been in the passenger seat and watched someone text while they were driving. I was sitting right there with two available hands and I just watched them. I could have become someone gone too soon or I could have let them become someone gone too soon. After today I refuse to ever let it happen again. I refuse to merely just become one of the statistics of teenage car accidents. Whenever I step foot in a car I will do my very best to make sure that everyone is wearing their seat belt, no one is texting and driving, or drinking and driving. I will do this for the passengers, the other cars on the road, and for Officer Dale. I will not let myself or anyone in my car become his twenty-ninth."
