Ashley's Corner

Hello all,
I just feel the need to express my sudden burst of ambition I felt today.
While walking through the halls I overheard a conversation about how cool this person felt for speeding for fifteen minutes and not getting busted by the police. Automatically I just rolled my eyes but later in the day I thought about it and it frustrated me. Why is it that breaking the rules seems so appealing to people? Is it really so hard to follow a rule that's meant to be for your protection?
I'm so glad to be a part of this campaign because I believe that teens need to realize that that's what the rules our for: our protection. Some students just don't seem to grasp this concept. They also don't think about the consequences that will result from it and they could potentially hurt someone. It just drives me up the wall-no pun intended.
This is what brought on my ambition. For this project I really want to find a way to make sure that teen drivers and future drivers understand why the rules are there and what the consequences are if said rules are not followed. I hope to stop the conversations about "oh dude it was awesome, I was like going 30 over for like fifteen minutes and wasn't pulled over once!"
I find it to be a sick conversation to take part in, and even more flithy to feel proud of doing it.
Calming down,
Ashley :p
---ps. In better news, today a lovely meeting was held with SADD. We discussed Ghost Out and our shirts and possible video ideas which, of course, being a multimedia girl I enjoyed. I can't wait to get started on turning our brainstormed ideas into full-fledged masterpieces. It's going to be super-duper darlings!! ... So watch out ;]
