By Mitchell Walbridge
“Mothers and daughters have a very special bond. From the moment Sydney was born, she was a true light in my life. Every day was a wonderful day because Sydney was a part of it… Sydney had dreams of becoming a wife and mother someday. Sadly, her dreams will not become a reality. I will never have the pleasure of watching as my little girl walks down the aisle, embracing her dad’s arm as he gives her away. I will never be able to enjoy Sydney’s children, my grandchildren.”
“Her beautiful face will only be visible in pictures from this point forward. This world will never know the true goodness and generous contributions Sydney could have made… Sydney will never graduate from high school or venture off to college like her classmates and friends. Sydney will never experience true love and all that goes with it. Sydney will never experience her wedding day or experience the joy and excitement of welcoming a child into this world… We’re blessed with only one life. Let’s live it wisely. God bless the memory of my little girl, Sydney Kay Johnson.”
Sadly, Theresa Johnson’s words above similarly illustrate the emotions of many parents who have lost a child in a car accident. 2011 CDC statistic report 3,331 people were killed in crashes involving a distracted driver, and 387,000 were additionally injured in crashes involving a distracted driver, many of them being young adults. As if keeping intoxicated individuals out of behind the wheel wasn’t challenging enough, there’s the new danger of cell phones involving both texting and talking while driving.
In any student’s high school career he or she will read thousands of pages, write dozens of papers, sit through hours of lectures, and be tested on learned information repeatedly. As important as gaining this knowledge is, some of the most valuable lessons that a student learns happens outside the classroom through pure observation. The morning of Friday, May 10 was one example for the students of Lanesboro High School as the school’s chapter of the SADD organization (Students Against Destructive Decisions) presented a mock crash and criminal trial.
At 9:15 am students and teachers were paged from their classrooms, and they walked from the school to the Lanesboro football field. Upon arrival students and school staff encountered a horrifying and realistic scene of a one-car rollover involving fo .....
