What School Do You Attend? Granada Comments: This program was amazing this year! I had a great time helping out and taking the grim reaper to classes. Hearing the students read their letters to their families was incredible, it was emoitional for everyone. I also thought the two speakers were an eye opener for people. The speakers said they thought it would never happen to them and it did, it could happen to anyone. It was definitely an eye opener for me and I'm going to do my best to make sure people I know dont drive drunk or get into the car with a drunk driver. I cant wait to help out with the next one!! Great job everyone and well done!
What School Do You Attend? Livermore High Comments: Every 15 Minutes was the most eye-opening and powerfully emotional program that i have ever been apart of. Participating in it with my fellow classmates and friends was also one of the funnest things that i have done in a very long time. As one of the "Undead," I was able to experience first hand the devastating reality that friends and families experience when one of their loved ones is lost. Throughout the duration of the program, I learned many lessons and met many new, cool people. Unfortunately, people still make bad choices and choose to drink and drive, but because of all the hard work and just plain awesomeness of Wes Morgan, Traci Rubejo, the Every 15 Minutes Kids, and the whole Livermore Police Department, lives are being saved and the message is being delivered that drunk driving is wrong! I will never forget this program. It surely has opened up my eyes and taught me many things...and I also cried for the first time in 7 years lol. To everyone that participated in the program this year...you are all heroes! Thank You. Brandon Brisco
Comments: This program was the most powerful, intense, emotional, exciting, and downright fun thing I have ever been blessed to be a part of. I was one of the crash victims who was ejected through the windshield of Ally's Impala (the drunk driver's car). From the moment that tarp was pulled off to reveal the horrific crash scene to the moment my parents had to identify my body at the mortuary, I was on a roller-coaster ride that no one should ever have to go through. Before the tarp was pulled, i took a good look at the situation that felt oh so real: I looked at my bloody arm lying in a pool of blood on the hood of the car, and got tears in my eyes praying that no one would ever actually have to endure the reality of a drunk-driving crash. Unfortunately, every 15 minutes someone is killed or permanently disabled due to a drunk-driving related crash. But with the power of Wes Morgan and Traci Rubejo and the rest of the Livermore PD, we are delivering our message to the masses to make the pledge to not drink and drive, and to not let friends or family drink and drive. This program has taught me soo many things and opened my eyes to endless amounts of things, and it is now my responsibility to pass on our message to as many people as possible. Thank you Wes and Traci and the Livermore PD for caring sooo incredibly much about us, and our fellow community and beyond. You guys are all my heroes. Thank you for doing all that you do  -Jon Yadon Jr.
What School Do You Attend? Granada High School Comments: These past two days have been the most incredible, powerful and emotional days of my life. I was one of the crash victims and the entire skit felt so real, like it truly was happening and there I was dying. I didn't even have to fake my tears. I learned so much about the consequences of drinking and driving and I will never allow myself to do that. I will also never allow anyone to get in the car drunk or get into a car with a drunk driver. I can't believe how real this whole experience was and felt. It was just amazing and I thank everyone (policemen, nurses, firefighters, school staff, and just everybody) who was a part of it. Thank you so much Wes and Traci for EVERYTHING and for how much you guys did for us and this program. You two are awesome people and the best cops in the world. I love you both so much! And I love how many new friends I made at both schools and I can't wait to see you all again on Sunday! It's going to be so much fun!!!! **Remember everyone: This was fake but every 15 minutes someone really is dying from a crash that could have been stopped! Please don't drink and drive!!
What School Do You Attend? Granada High School Comments: These past two days have been two of the most emotional days of my life and they've also been two of the best days I've ever had. I was one of the living dead and I got pulled out right when I got to school so I was "dead" all day. It was definitely a completely new experience to not be able to say hi to everyone or comfort my friends that I saw at school who were crying or upset. Watching the crash was one of the most heart-wrenching moments of my life. I found myself bawling for people who I had only just met, but for some reason it didn't seem odd. This program has not only opened my eyes in a bigger way than i could have imagined to the consequences of drinking and driving, but it has also allowed me to form some of the most amazing relationships with all the people involved. Traci and Wes, thank you so much for putting all the effort and time into this program and being constantly supportive. Yesterday and today were definitely an emotional roller coaster for me. I don't think i've ever cried or laughed so much all in the same day. I can't wait for Sunday! |
