What excites you most about your Genius Hour project?
The thing that I am most excited about for my Genius Hour project is that I am going to be able to make a video with statistics of drinking and driving and post it to social media to share with people to see. I hope that it will open the eyes of anyone of any age. Hopefully if my video turns out as well as I plan it to I can get a chance to show it to others in the school or area schools. I look forward to trying to make a change and make people think about their actions.
What concerns you most about your Genius Hour project?
The statistics and high number of deaths due to drinking and driving is what concerns me most. The numbers that are given are extremely high. For me, drinking and driving has and always will be a huge deal in my life. I will never allow my people I'm with to drink and drive. Although people will tell you they're fine and "good enough" to drive, they're wrong. I always tell people to call me if they are in need of a ride. I'd rather them wake me in the middle of the night than get a call in the morning saying there's been an accident. When I was young my brothers girlfriend was killed in an accident caused by drinking and driving, and I saw the way both of our families recovered from this tragedy. I remember the day it happened like it was yesterday and I want to prevent anyone from going through this and knowing that feeling.
What progress have you made so far with your project?
So far I have gotten many statistics on drinking and driving and read many stories and articles dealing with the matter. I have also been collecting images I have come across on the internet such as charts, signs, and pictures of accidents related to drinking and driving. I began to string together a video to present and later post to my blog.
