In the beginning of the talk you played us an audio remake of what happened to your sister and what you said. The whole time during that I was crying because I thought about what it would be like to lose my twin sister in an accident like that and how much she would miss if she were gone, how much I would miss. She got pregnant that year and was not in school at the time you presented that but I know she would have been doing the same thing, thinking the same thing. It was hard for me to sit there and listen to what you were saying, knowing my sister wasn't there with me and I couldn't hold her hand, just to know she was safe. I want you to know that you speaking to schools all around IS making a difference. It's changing people's lives and helping them to make the right choices. I will never drive reckless knowing that if I ever left this world there would be people that would miss me, cry over me, people I would never see grow up and get married, have kids of their own, and I have to be there for them. I'm sorry you had to lose someone important to you, I'm sorry that that is what made you start speaking, but I'm glad you're doing it. So many people lose family and friends because of reckless driving and don't do anything about it, don't tell people: this is why it happened. But you did and that is so important to people all around. There are always going to be those kids, adults, teens, that think "oh, that'll never happen to me...that'll never happen to someone I know" but it does and you're living proof of that. Thank you for speaking at my school, it was an important event in my life and one that I will never forget.

I loved hearing you're presentation, and to know that you wanted at least 1 of us in the audience to learn something from it, I just want you to know that I did learn. I learned that there are some choices out there, that could be the wrong ones, or the right ones. At the beginning of you're presentation, when you told us to close our eyes and think of the most important person/people in our lives, I closed mine, and that minute thought of my mom, my three best friends, and my brothers. Then, as you went on and said to imagine what happened to you're sister, happen to the person we thought of with our eyes closed, I realized that it could happen. I may not think it'll happen to me, but it could happen to anyone out there. It could be one of my best friends, my mom, or one of my four brothers. I just hope that it never happens to anyone I care about, or myself. I do hope that as you go on and speak to schools around the world, someone in the audience you speak to, does learn something from you're speech. You opened up my eyes, and I can't think you enough for taking the time to come out and speak to my school, and myself. I will never forget your speech, and I'm glad you took the time to speak to all of us. Thanks for everything! & I hope all is doing well.
