Jeff was headed off to North Carolina State
University for his first semester as a sophomore. He had worked very
hard to get accepted to NCSU 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 at College. Nobody was of legal
drinking age, so they called on Mike, a freshman they met earlier that 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. So sorry for your loss.'
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.
