Shattered Dreams - A Drink Driving Presentation
The morning of the 19th of March at Rangitikei College was an interesting one.
A speaker had arrived at the school to talk to the students about drink driving and the consequences of it. His name was Tamati Paul, and he showed us and told us about his Shattered Dreams.
The 20 minute dvd moved as all as we watched and listened to Tamati's amazing dreams and aspirations only to find a horrific car accident had destroyed them all. This accident was caused by a drunk driver who had been convicted 15 times in the past, who had made the choice to drive home drunk (again) and change someone else's life.
Students watched with mixed expressions of horror and surprise. The dvd hit home with a lot of us and made us think twice.
After the dvd, we were introduced to the real life Tamati Paul. We all listened to what he had to say about drink driving and what had happened to him. He moved most of us to tears. I readily admit that I shed a few. We laughed at his jokes, to which he replied "What are you laughing at me for?" which made us all laugh harder.
Tamati's main message was Don't Drink and Drive. I hope we have all taken that in as an important life lesson.
Thankyou Tamati, we really enjoyed your presentation.
