My name is Paige Sand and I am a senior at Dakota High School. I created this site as part of my senior English class project to show leadership in a cause that is important to me.
Drunk driving is an important issue to me because many people my age already drink and make poor decisions. Innocent people get severely injured due to someone being drunk behind the wheel, which upsets me. I'm striving to make a difference, because my family and friends drive daily and they are being put at risk. My step dad is on the road frequently because he’s a police officer, which puts him at a much greater risk than anyone else. I don't want poor decisions to affect people's lives.
