yesterday we went to an assembly and the topic was drunk driving
the speaker had lost his brother Todd in a drunk driving accident he talked
about how his brother had "gotten off the narrow path" he was a good
kid who was a state champion athlete he was influenced only by his older
brother who was the speaker he told about how he encouraged his brother Todd to
"live the better life" which was sadly off the narrow path he kept
saying "it’s only another step its only just another little step" he
started at one end of the gym and every time he told us about another bad thing
he would take one more step in the other direction and once he had gotten all
the way to the other end of the gym crash that was the scene of the wreck he showed
how everything lead up to that cold February night when his brother was the
only one killed he walked onto the scene of the accident and saw Todd’s 2
friends, fine, they literally walked out of the care and smashed in the back of
the car was a white body bag his brother Todd was dead head caved in his arms
and legs broken he never had a chance the back seat were Todd was siting was
hit by a truck this changed the life of his older brother he is now "back
on the narrow path" but Todd’s spirit will continue to change the lives of
many students at the end he wanted everyone who wanted to "get back on the
narrow path to come down and join him” in tears me and a large group of friends
and strangers from other schools joined in the group
