The Street Smart program was shown at our high
school today. I teach
sophomores and 4 years ago experienced the death of two students who
were not wearing seatbelts - the other two students in the car who
were wearing seatbelts survived.

Hey! I was just wanting to let you guys know
that this program was by far the most eye-opening program we've ever
seen. You guys weren't like the others that sit there and preach to
us about it. You actually TALKED to us about it and had a great demo
to go by. I'm sure you guys are already making a difference down
here. Thanks for coming and doing this. Our school really needed it.

Our son Joel only had his license for 3 months.
We thought he was an ok driver. We didn't realize how dangerous that
was. 4 lives are now gone to due inexperience and no seatbelts.
Please drive carefully no matter what.
It only takes a second to lose not only your life, but lives of
others as well. please drive safely. Love, Mom, Dad and brother and
friends of Joel, Eric, Stephanie and Brenda.

I want everyone to know how important it is
to wear your seatbelts. I lost my 17 year old nephew on 4/1/05 in a
pickup/18 wheeler accident.

The Street Smart Program came to our school
just recently. I realized that a lot of kids at my high school don't
wear seat belts. I used to when I was little, but somehow got out of
the habit.

I think that this program was great. I am 14
years old and I already party. I have been in cars with impaired
drivers and I can proudly say I will never again. I always wear my
seatbelt now and make the other people that are in the car with me
wear them too. Thank you and I am sure you have saved many lives
along with mine.

This past year you or someone you know at your
school has lost someone in a fatal car accident whether it be a
friend, classmate, brother/sister, or a girlfriend or boyfriend. In
February of 2003 our school lost a girl named Alicia Terrebonne in a
drunk driving accident.

I must say, honestly that was the best
in-school presentation I have ever seen. Your program is great and I
enjoyed watching the presentation, because it really gets through to
the kids. I also like the fact that you don't say "don't do this and
don't do that because it is wrong." you explain things thoroughly and
make us understand how serious the situations actually are. Thank you
for coming to my Driver's ed class. Take Care.
By Ashley Molden
I enjoyed the program very much. It really
turned on a light. Every time I get in a car I think of those people
in the presentation. It really helps me to appreciate life better.
When I went home the first thing I did was call everyone I loved and
could think of and told them to wear their seatbelt. Thank you
By Christie Clark
This presentation was very emotional. I mean,
throughout school, we’re always told to never drink and drive, but it
just goes in one ear and out the other. They don’t touch on issues, or
points, that really affect their audience.

My name is Mallory and I'm only 14, but my
birthday is coming up in December. I wear my seatbelt everywhere I go.
It only takes about 5 sec. and we all have 5 extra sec. in our lives.
You never know one day it might just save your life. So every time you
get in that car you should think do I want to look cool and not wear my
seatbelt, or do I want to live to see tomorrow.
By Dana Gill
My name is Dana Gill and my mom is a
LMS (Life Management Skills) teacher at Cypress Creek High School.
Seatbelt safety is a big priority in our family. When I started
driving, on May 23rd, the last thing I thought about was
taking time away from my freedom on the road to buckle my seatbelt.

On August 14, 2002, I was involved in a fatal car accident. I lost
not only a classmate but also a close friend. In a traffic jam of 5,000
students, sometimes late and all heading the same direction I had no
idea my life was about to change forever.

The program changed my outlook on wearing my
seatbelt because those pictures were just plain awful!!!! The worst
thing was that majority of those people could have been saved if they
were just wearing their seatbelts!!!

Maribel and I were best friends for almost 7
years. We worked together, went to school together, and always hung
