Im a young highschool student. I have a very vauge and plain out look on life. Even so, i cant help but think why. Why do things happen in certain ways? My life has been pretty simple. I have a great family and friends and my school grades are average. My school was visited recently by Kevin Brooks. Kevin is a speaker that goes round schools throught the country to talk to children and young adults about the consequences of drunk driving. His story is not just one of regret and emotion. It is one of compasssion and even in the darkest days he found light and hope. It was in hearing this story i realized that everything must happen for a reason, Kevin has influenced many people and may just have saved a few lives at the cost of nearly losing his.Being paralyized from the waist down has left him with many disadvantages but in exeption to the greatest advantage of all…his life. So the next time your feeling down and think why? Just remember there are bigger disadvantages in life, and just be glad that you have yours.
