Please write at least five sentences (2 points each) on how you liked the Dec 14 presentation. What struck you the most? Did you disagree with anything? What was the "take away" for you? Take the peer pressure quiz. Are you "under the influence"?
The Cruisin' Not Boozin' presentation was a bit different this year. The person affected by the accident was older than past speakers. I liked the presentation because it demonstrated something that happens to us at least once in our young lives as a teenager. Young people nowadays, take the advantage of drinking a little too much over a limit. Accident rates in America are extremely high and if the person driving did not die, at least someone from the other car died or got injured- vice versa. It struck me how touching her story was, it was very sad knowing that she went through so much and it was not even her fault. I disagreed with her suing the bar, they did not cause the accident from her boyfriend drinking four drinks, he purchased it. The "take away" for me was that she received so much complications and injuries all over her body. She was basically a baby again, could not do anything for herself.
The Cruisin' Not Boozin' assembly was really helpful this year & was different then previous years. I liked the assembly because it helped me realize how important it is to not get in a car with anyone who is under the influence and to be cautious if I am driving. Jennifer's story was very sad. It touched me in a way because not only did she have to suffer from her injuries, her enitre family did as well. This assembly taught me that one stupid mistake made by me or my friends could cost us our lives or even life-long injuries.
I enjoyed the presentation that was given by the two members of the Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital Program which was held on December 14th . Cruisin’ Not Boozin’ is the title of this program and means to not drink and drive. What struck me the most was how much damage Jennifer has suffered, not only physically but mentally. She now has trouble finding a job she can maintain and can never pursue her FBI career like she wanted. Jennifer suffered from survivor’s guilt and would sometimes forget where she was going on the road. She told us that she would have to pull over and sometimes call somebody. Jennifer’s speech she gave to the entire student body was very touching. Not only did the accident affect Jennifer’s life but her boyfriend, her daughter, the four individuals in the other vehicle, those who were in the other vehicles parents, family and friends, Jennifer’s mother, Jennifer’s family and friends and many more. It really makes me nervous thinking about how one decision can change someone’s life in a split second. I can not say I disagreed with anything that was presented. In my opinion Jennifer was great but I do wish there was another guest speaker who had a story to tell who was closer to our age. The “take away” for me had to be alcohol and vehicles never clash under any circumstances. Always be cautious while on the road and stay in the clear of how many alcoholic beverages you consume. As Jennifer had said her and her boyfriend were fighting that week and they were never drinkers this shows to know your limit on your alcohol intake. Make smart choices and think of the possible after effects of your actions before making a decision. Not only being under the influence behind the wheel are you putting your own life in danger, but the others around you whether in a car or on foot and those who are in your vehicle. When I took the peer pressure quiz my results were that life’s got me in a vice grip. The above the influence website says that based on my answers I am probably feeling some pressure. I know that my choices do matter and I must make decisions that I can stand by and follow my instinct on what I believe is the right thing to do, not what others are doing.
The assembly this year was less interesting and gripping than past years. I did not disagree with anything, all the things they said came from real life stories and events. What I took away was that one incident can affect the rest of your life. The speaker's accident prevents her from achieving her dream of working for the FBI and affects the way she goes about her daily life. The fact that she was not even the driver really showed that a decision, like who you're in the car with, can change everything. I just took that quiz. I am not under the influence, thank you very much.
The Cruisin' not Boozin' assembly that took place on December 14th was very interesting. I felt that the assembly was able to show people, and myself, to not get into a car with anyone that is under the influence. That decision can save our lives from anguish, save other lives, and prevent other events that one can not even predict. I feel that there is nothing that I am able to disagree with. I feel that the stories that Bryn Mawr Rehab presents to use are raw, which allows those that listen to be effected in a positive way. I was able to take away from the story that was presented, that even if someone almost never drinks, that one night of doing so can change everything. Jennifer has difficulty with her memory, which causes her to have difficulty finding work. She has two children, who needs help raising. Her ex-boyfriend is on parole and he almost never drank. That was what struck me the most, because ONE small mistake can leave a lifetime of heartache and other issues. When I took the quiz online, the results told me that I am not under the influence. The Heat is on, pressure is all around me, but I am dealing with it.
I think that the Cruisin' Not Boozin' assembly is among the most important assemblies we attend every year. My mother was blindsided by a drunk driver once, and my dad, being a cop, has had countless run ins with these types of people, so I think it's really important to stay informed and learn why not to drink and drive. I did feel bad for the woman who spoke to us today, even though the situation wasn't her fault and she was not an avid drinker, she suffered the consequences, as did the 19 year old girl her boyfriend hit while under the influence. Drunk driving is a completely preventable cause of harm and claims too many lives annually to be ignored. Although I usually hate watching the same assembly year after year, I really am grateful that we get to hear the stories of the people from Bryn Mawr rehab every year.
I really enjoyed the Crusin' Not Boozin' assembly this year. It didn't seem as graphic as previous years but taught a powerful lesson all the same. What struck me the most was that it was a real life example of the effects drinking can have on ones body. It showed that even the minimum amount of alcohol in someones system can lead to poor judgment and dangerous decisions. I was always told that the most important thing to do while driving is to watch out for other drivers. This assembly made me realize just how important that is and gave me some good tips on how to stay safe while on the road. I didn't disagree with anything. They used real life examples and I know that anything can happen especially when alcohol is involved.
as a teen in high school I can say I enjoy the cruisin' not boozin' every year. it is always informative and helpful in any situation. for example if I was at a place I did not want to be I could say a code word to my parents to come get me. this presentation opened my eyes to see every little detail of a wrong choice to drive with someone under the influence. it showed me the outcome of the situation and the lasting effect on every person involved . I learn, as I do every year, to not trust anyone driving under the influence and to keep myself safe!
The Cruisin' Not Boozin' assembly is consistently informative and, if only for the day, makes us reevaluate our choices in life. The reality of the speaker and her situation, both past and present, struck me the most. No one thinks they will ever find themselves in a similar situation, but this presentation opens everyone's eyes to the possibility. I did not disagree with anything in the presentation. Everything, especially the hints for if you ever find yourself in a predicament where people are under the influence and you have no safe ride home, was extremely helpful. The Peer Pressure quiz told me that it seems that I am aware of the pressures in my life and that I'm learning how to deal with them.
I really enjoyed the Cruisin' Not Boozin' assembly as I do every year. I think it was very informative and I always really like to hear the speaker's stories. The speaker this year really had an inspiring story and I felt as if her story gives hope to others that you can turn your life around after a bad decision. I did not disagree with anything that they said. The message that I got out of this assembly was that one bad decision can really change your whole life. Sometimes you can end up paying for a bad choice for the rest of your life. I learned that I have should have a plan with someone I trust so that if something goes wrong I can count on them. I took the Peer Pressure quiz and it told me that I am aware of the pressure that is in my life but I am able to deal with it.
I'm glad each year we have the Crusin' Not Boozin' assembly. I usually enjoy it, but this year was different, to me this year was the best speaker we've had. It opened my eyes more on the damage drinking and driving does. I appreciated what the speaker said to us, I also was happy she answered all of the questions we had. What struck me the most was all the things she suffered from and most of all what she had to suffer with from the accident. I didn't disagree with what was said at the assembly. What I took from this assembly is even if you consume a small amount of alcohol, the consequences could be severe. Drinking and driving is incredibly dangerous and shouldn't be taken lightly. My Peer Pressure Quiz said, "The Heat's On - The pressure is all around you, but you're dealing with it."
The Crusin' Not Boozin assembly was very enjoyable. They are so informative each and every year. The speaker was awesome. What struck me the most was that how much damage someone who is under the influence can do to a whole entire community. Th boyfriend only has a few drinks and he damaged much more than a few people. So many people do not realize how much alcohol and drugs can impair a person's vision and ability to react quickly. I did not disagree with anything Jen said. She told us everything we asked and so emphasized on how many people's lives can change in just one night. The "take away" for me was that she never trust anyone to drive a car even if they only had a couple beers or a drink. It can do so much harm and hurt many people. I took the Peer Pressure Quiz and it said "The Heats On- The pressure is all around you, but you're dealing with it."
I always thoroughly enjoy the Crusin' Not Brusin' presentation every year. I think they did a very nice job this year, as they do every year, in showing us just how much one simple decision can not only affect our entire lives, but the lives of many other people. The speaker's message was strong, inspiring, and most of all, relatable. She wasn't the one who made the horrible decision to drive on that bleak and notorious night, however it was her life, and the lives of the passangers of the other car who's lives will forever suffer from her boyfriends mistake and misjudgement. Although I know better than to ever put myself in a situation similar to hers, it was eye opening to see someone try to do the right thing, yet ultimatly had to suffer the consequences as someone driving drunk. I hope that I wasn't the only one affected by this presentation. I hope that every girl in our auditorium had something to take away from it, because when they get in a car drunk or high, it's not only their lives they are putting in jepardy, but the innocent lives of everyone else on the road. Although many teenagers find it so difficult to be responsible, which is beyond me, I hope that they will at least think twice before putting at risk the life of someone's mother, brother, sister, dauther, son, etc. My take away is to always think things through for that extra second, because you never know whose life you're saving by doing so. Being responsible is something that will NEVER be un-cool or out of style.
I really enjoyed the crusin' not boozing' assembly last week. It was really informative and very eye opening. Our community has recently been affected by drunk and reckless driving so the assembly really hit home. The speaker was inspiring, especially because she was not the one directly responsible for the accident, which was different than previous years. I didn't disagree with anything the speaker told us. She was more than happy to answer our questions and was clear that she wanted to help make a difference. My take away is that when you are drinking your life is your own responsibility. One decision can change everything.
I learned alot from the Cruisin' not Boozin' presentation. Hearing the speaker talk about her experience in an accident involving drinking and driving made me more aware of what can happen from driving under the influence. It was scary to realize that anyone's life is at risk behind the wheel because people drinking and driving do not have full control of their car on the road. What struck me the most from the presentation is that the speaker was able to tell our student body about the horrific event she experienced falling asleep in the car and waking up to an accident that changed her life. The "take away" for me is that I will always use my best judgement, especially when I feel uncomfortable driving with someone who is reckless or under the influence.
In a word......interesting! "Cruisin' not Boozin" is not a presentation that will bore you to tears but it is simply a presentation that shows the importance of how drunk driving can cause serious injuries and leave you questioning "What happened?" or "Why did I think I was ok to drive?" A lot of the time you don't remember exactly what happened but your definitely well aware of the pain your in. What struck me the most was the courage that the speaker had. She was able to share her story with us, without choking up or having a break down. Honestly, I don't know if I would've kept me composure but she managed to tell her story with such pose that it was inspiring! The take away for me is that ongoing saying that "Life is too short", and its true. I came to realize through this presentation that its cool to have fun but when the opportunity presents itself, not when its time to be serious and when safety is involoved.
I really enjoyed the presentation. I feel as if the presentation taught alot of my classmates and myself about drinking and driving. I did not disagree with anything on the presentation. It was very informative. The "take away" for me was that she is still alive and how she has 2 children still. She is a very greatful woman.
The cruisin' not boozin' assembly is a powerful message that always manages to touch me. This year, the speaker was a woman who was not the driver but the passenger. At the time she was young and she explainrd the hardships she went through as she fought through numerous surgeries and struggled to relearn simple tasks such as walking and talking. Her bravery as she reminisced on the tragedy amazed me and made it even more powerful. This presentation really spoke to me because it shows that one bad decision can change your life forever.
I thought that the Cruisin’ not Boozin’ assembly was very touching and powerful. The speakers at these assemblies always help me to realize that anything can happen to any person at any given time. The woman helped show that one decision and one little mistake can really change a person’s life. The thing that struck me the most was realizing all of the pain that this woman went through. Not only did she have to live through her own physical pain, but she also had to live through the emotional pain of her boyfriend killing the young girl. I did not disagree with anything, and the “take away” for me was really to think everything through before making any decisions. I already found that it is important to thoroughly think before making a decision, but after this assembly I learned more about the possible consequences of certain actions. I have always found it important to act in a responsible manner and learn to use my best judgment.
I enjoyed the Cruisin' not Boozin' presentation a lot. It was very touching and was able to open up our eyes to the dangers and consequences of drinking. What struck me the most was the effects on not only her, but her children, her boyfriend at the time, and the people in the other car. It shows how massive of an impact things like these can have. I didn't disagree with anything, I think that everything that was said was helpful and moving. The "take away" for me was pretty much just to think carefully and make right choices and continue to turn away from harmful decisions. The quiz told me that I am aware of the pressures around me, but I'm dealing with them and generally don't give into them.
It may not sound right, but I always enjoy the Crusin' not Boozin' assembly every year. It gives off such great information about staying above the influence. When they bring in people with real life sorties, it really comes close to heart and helps me better understand. I took away from that assembly that you not only hurt yourself when you drink and drive but you hurt the other people in your life. The dangers of people drinking and driving are all around you most of the time.
I enjoyed this presentation for Cruisin' not Boozin' because she mentioned the other people affected and how they were our age. To hear the trauma she went through because of such a stupid decision of her and her boyfriend drinking too much. From this assembly, I took away the realistic consequences of drinking too much and drinking and driving. It also helps me make the decision on who is safe to drive with and who is only putting my life at risk.
The assembly this year was just as good as the previous years. the speakers come and tell their stories of horrible situations that they have been put in due to drinking and driving. most teenagers dont believe that these types of things can happen to them but the speaker made it clear that those effected were in fact our age. these presentations makes you think twice about doing something you may regret even if you've done it before and nothing bad happens doesnt mean it wont the next time.

To hear the trauma she went through because of such a stupid decision of her and her boyfriend drinking too much. From this assembly, I took away the realistic consequences of drinking too much and drinking and driving. It also helps me make the decision on who is safe to drive with and who is only putting my life at risk.
ReplyDeleteThe assembly this year was just as good as the previous years. the speakers come and tell their stories of horrible situations that they have been put in due to drinking and driving. most teenagers dont believe that these types of things can happen to them but the speaker made it clear that those effected were in fact our age. these presentations makes you think twice about doing something you may regret even if you've done it before and nothing bad happens doesnt mean it wont the next time.
