Today in class we talked about a student that had passed away lasted year because of the reckless, drunk driving of her boyfriend. And although i agree to an extent that it's somewhat her fault for getting in the car, i also think that any person's life should be recognized widely if they have passed.
I have seen many people in my life pass away. And i wish that for every one of those people there would have been an article or some sort of recognition of them so that others could have seen what wonderful people they were. Yes, Many of them had chosen to make decisions in life that if they didn't it might have prevented their passing but that is what life is about. We live life, we make mistakes, and in the end we all move on.
When those people leave our lives they leave the memories behind with us. And although the memories are both good and bad, we focus only on the good. So why can we do that with the people we loved and were close to but we can't for the stranger's we hear about in the paper or on the news? How is it that we can grieve for our loved one's mistakes that had brought them to their end but we find ourselves looking down on the mistakes made by others that also led them to the end of their lives?
I think we have to start looking at all that's happening around us. Everyone must stop focusing on one person's life ending mistake and instead of criticizing it, we should learn from it. We should read those articles about the ones who made those horrible mistakes, with respect for the ones that are gone and also the loved ones that they left behind. We should take the life lesson and run with it, not following the path they took but going the other way.
With this highschooler's story it shows that when someone you know is under the influence of anything you shouldn't get into a car with them. This girl did and had to face the consequences.
