Sarah Panzau: Living Proof - Comments

wow thats amazing

Ugh, reading your article made me cry.
I also lost a best friend to drunk driving, Jimmy White, he was a star baseball player, had a full ride at Texas A&M at College Station, even had a chance to play for the astros. But in april of my freshman year, there was a party and everyone there was drinking and doing drugs. Cops came and we all went out separate ways, next thing I hear, my best friend is on life support, another friend has a broken leg and the last was in critical condition and up for an arrest. Why? All because they were drunk, not wearing seatbelts, and hit a mailbox causing them to crash into a ditch, jimmy died almost instantly.
We have a program called shattered lives, which is a drunk-driving senerio, where there's an huge well staged accident and many students "die" during the day to stage how many [b]teenagers[/b] not legal adults, die or are injured from drunk driving. It's a powerful thing, and it shows kids that they aren't invincible, that things CAN happen to them. I used to be a heavy drinker, and reading stories like these make my heart stop and rethink my actions

good article

I think those things are more powerful in person than on a documentary or television show. Even an article but you obviously have been touched and I would be the same if Sarah came to my school.

i loved your article and i think she is amazing :)(:

Your article made me cry.
No joke.
I lost a bestfriend to a drunk driver.
It was like midnight and a drunk driver ran a red light crashing into the driver side of my best friends car and he died instantly.
That was over a year and a half ago.

Honestly, why drive drunk? whats the point?
Your risking your life and other peoples.
And ost of the time, you take someone away from their family.

WOW. Sarah....you're an inspiration! :)

Incredible story, well-written article.
I'm already anti-alcohol and such, but if I wasn't, I would be now.

ive had somebody come to my school like that except it was about hiv/aids

oh thats so sad. :( that really moved me. thanks for posting.

Yeah. So don't drink. :]]

Oh, wow. She must be so strong after going through that and having to lose volleyball from it... Good for her.

It's always nice to hear it when someone's making a learning experience out of their tragedies. Great article. :)

i can relate because my mom drove drunkk when she was 8 months pregnanttt with mee

we need someone like that.
we had a motivational speaker that impacted us grately.
i can't remember his name though.

Wow, I wish she would come to my school. The only people that come to our school to say how bad it is to drive when you drank too much, is the police. Like that stops any of the girls on my school.

...wow

that's all i can stay

that is truly amazing:)

Good for her.
