"I'm going to Napier." The clock reads 3:59: a message saved in the drafts of Sarah Page's cell phone. My phone rings on the way home from Sarah's house and I see no sign of her. "Is this Sam, Sarah Page's sister was it?" she had an accident and was taken to the hospital." I frantically called the hospital and they confirmed that she had been admitted. My mother had called the hospital and told me: "She's not well, she has serious brain injuries and they're looking for to stabilize her." When my family and I arrive at the hospital, after waiting in the seemingly cold, eerie, quiet but stressful waiting room, we finally see our sweet little Sarah. Her face is swollen and she has tubes running everywhere, how I desperately wanted to hold her and tell her I loved her, but I was too traumatized. A nurse handed me a paper bag with Sarah's earrings in it... Then the doctor turned to us "She won't survive ". "I'm afraid there is no hope."... After we all said tearful goodbyes, they turned off her life support and Sarah left us forever (Page). Sam had sent her sister Sarah a message informing her who was on a mission. “I'm going to Napier” was the text message Sarah was sending to Sam. A text message that could have waited meant Sam would never see his sister again in his life The main problem with young people texting and driving is that they say, “It will never happen to me.” There is no doubt that many young people have the mindset that they are responsible and invincible when in reality it only takes a split second for that responsibility and invincibility to be postponed. Most people I know believe they're texting... middle of paper ......did you wait and risk losing your life? This is a serious problem and everyone needs to realize what is at stake. Because of our busy world with bosses, families and friends, if emergencies arise, there is always a solution to prevent the inevitable when texting and driving. Pull over or wait until you reach your destination to send the one text message that could lose your life. Page cited, Sam "Texting while driving killed my sister." http://www.thatslife.com.au.
