"I wish I never listened to the guys. It all started out as fun, drinking beer and cruising around the school at night. We mess around a couple of nights a week and never got caught. One night, we got pulled over by the cops, I was driving and had 3 buddies in the car with me. We drank a full six pack and still had the empty bottles in the car. A soon as I heard the siren I knew we were busted. I wound up in jail for 24 hours. My parents had to hire a lawyer and we all had to go to court. My coach found out and I got thrown off the football team. I lost my part-time job cause I didn't show up for work that night. I just started the job and was saving money toward my new car. Instead, the judge ordered me to pay a $250 fine and I had to do 50 hours of community service by running errands for senior citizens in my neighborhood. What a mess for me and my family. I'm graduating in a few months and my parents had promised to give me a down payment for my car, but now that car is out of the question. I won't let my friends talk me into drinking and driving ever again.

Drinking is bad. You knew better but did the wrong thing. I am not saying that was good but you learn and do not do it again. STOP LISTENING to those so called friends because their not your friends. You could have killed you and your friends. It is a blessing for you to be alive. So live each day and be thankful for what you have.
GOD BLESS AND BE BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do people drink and drive? that is just stupid. but i think it is
good that he learned from his mistake. if everybody in the world
learned from their mistakes then that would be a good world but not
everybody does. thats all i have to say. bye

I do not agree with Yoda Because everybody makes mistakes. Also most people learn from their mistakes. If you don't learn from your mistakes and you still drink and drive then you are an idiot because that is endangering people who should not be endangered. I also don't think you should judge Keith as an idiot because you don't know what he is really like. That is like judging a book by it's cover when maybe its cover has nothing to do with the book itself!
