Today in class we talked about different ways people get injured in motor vehicles, at home, in our leisure activities, and at work. I thought it was funny the way people threw out random injuries throughout the activity (one guy said "Bear Attacks" and someone else said "Paper Cuts"). But the list also included many common and serious injries as well. After we had a list of different ways people hurt themselves and others, we talked about ways we can prevent these injuries. Someone said "We need to get more sleep because driving drowsy is just as bad as driving drunk." That statement made me think about all the stupid things we do as humans that injure us that can easily be avoided. Just by waking up earlier so we don't have to speed to work or school while we put on our makeup can make a huge difference. Be patient and don't text while driving. Wait til after you stop and get out of the car to write your friends back. It would also help you stay safer and save money to ride the bus. This saves gas money and keeps traffic minimal.
In conclusion, Take care of yourself. Don't be negligent. And remember to look out for other people. I think we'll all be surprised at the number of lives we save and injuries we prevent by putting a little extra effort in safety.
