Read what students have to say after attending a presentation by !MPACT…

Bristol Eastern High School, Bristol, CT
"There was not one dry eye in the whole auditorium… it has definitely changed my perspective on how I drive. I tend to pay attention to things I wouldn't normally pay attention to. I find myself correcting my boyfriend or whoever I'm in the car with to either slow down or watch out for other cars. It has definitely changed my behavior about how I react when I am in a vehicle. Numerous times, I have told people that they are driving way too fast, and if they don't slow down, I am going to get out of the car."           

"I have learned to think about the decisions that I make before I get myself into a stupid situation. Before you came I would always do what my friends wanted to do like most teenagers would, but not anymore. I truly want to thank you for changing my life for the better and sharing your stories."

"I've already decided not to drive with one of my friends again because she is completely reckless and what you said made me realize this and not want to get in a car with her behind the wheel again… It's hard to say 'no, I'm not getting in the car with you' to a good friend but I honestly think that this has given me the confidence to say no and protect myself from any danger that I can control. You can't understand how much of an impact you really are having."

"You have made a difference in my life and I will never forget that. Your visit was very emotional and makes young adults like me understand the gift of life and to realize that gift is not promised tomorrow."More feedback from Bristol Eastern High

Bacon Academy, Colchester, CT
"Your words have had such a lasting impression on me. I am about to get my license and because of what you said, I now have a deeper understanding of why it is so important to drive safely… Even though we cannot bring back your child, you have kept them alive by what you are doing, and you're also saving many other families from the pain that your family had to experience. It has been almost a year since you came to my school and gave your presentation, but I can still remember the feelings you expressed… you will never be forgotten, and neither will your sons."

Everything just became more clear…I realized how real everything is. I used to drive drunk once in a while and it will never happen again. The moms changed me. The moms' emotions, courage and hugs might have saved my life… the passing of their sons has saved lives. I appreciate everything. Thank you."

"You really touched me and changed my life."

Norwich Technical High School, Norwich, CT
"The whole presentation was memorable because they all seemed like kids that reminded me of me. It hit close to home and I think it made a lot of my friends stop and think… as well as me."

"I learned that I need to pay attention more…no eating and drinking while driving and that I should be safe while driving instead of trying to be cool by speeding. The program was outstanding and it touched me deeply."

Windham Regional Vocation Technical School, Willimantic, CT
"It really makes you think about how serious this is. I will definitely slow down when driving. I don't drink or do drugs…but I will make sure I don't ride with anyone who does."

"Keep doing what you did because it really hit me hard. It made me listen. Thank you."

"This program changed my future behavior because now I don't speed. I tell my friends and family not to drive drunk or get into a car with someone who's been drinking. The program also made me realize that your life can change in the blink of an eye... I thank you for making me realize that life is something you should cherish."

"You should put drivers ed in this school because we need it."        Read more testimonials
