GOMEZZZZZZ http://proudtowait.org/blog/a-word-from-j-gomezzzzzz/ http://proudtowait.org/blog/a-word-from-j-gomezzzzzz/#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:54:25 +0000 admin http://proudtowait.org/?p=600  TRAINING Pics 065                                                                                   Well what can I say alot has happened over the past 3 months. One very important event that happened in my life was that I got married!   What, What….LOL!!!   Yup, Yup I’m married and so far its been pretty exciting. We went on our Honeymoon and we had a blast in Cancun.  It was really amazing. But I’m not going to talk about me or my relationship, just a couple of hours ago I was at a Teen summit and wow let me tell you it was great.   There were many different speakers and they all touched on different topics ranging from Teen Dating violence to underage drinking and my favorite STD’s!!! JK!!!!   Honestly though my favorite speaker was a mother who was a volunteer for M.A.D.D ( Mothers Against Drunk Driving.) Her name was Joan Brewer and she dropped it like its hot.   She started by showing a video from 1999…( Yeah I know 1999…. OLD) but what that video showed was the most shocking thing I’ve ever seen, Yeah we all know its not good to drink and drive, but many of us know people who still do this and we can prevent our friends or family members from getting behing the wheel and causing a horrific accident that can lead to them being dead or even behind bars. As the 1999 video started playing it showed a beautiful young lady from Venezuela who came to the states to learn english.   It also showed a 20 year old football player who didn’t know each other but because the 20 year boy was drinking and none of his buddies took his keys away his life would be changed forever.   It was a late night and the Boy was driving and he crossed the center divider on the freeway colliding  with the young ladies car who had 2 other passengers in her car.  2 passengers died and she had 3rd degree burns allover her body and loss her nose, fingers, ears and was basically deformed.  I was shocked to see this women it was crazy. But Joan continue telling the story of her son who died too from driving under the influence at the age of 22.  You could really feel her sorrow as she spoke about the death of her child and it was by far one of the most impactful personal stories I’ve ever heard.  At first I didn’t know how to react, but I guess what I’m trying to say to you is if you know of anyone who drinks and drive take their keys away or drive them home.   You can save a life by doing something that small. All in all a split second can change your life so Don’t drink and Drive!!!TRAINING Pics 061

Things were amazing, even though it’s always difficult to facilitate an event of this size (there were over 150 teens and quite a few parents).

Now, I know that money is NOT the most important thing in our lives, but if we don’t have enough it causes frustration in our lives. Money is a huge issue; it has caused marriages to end up in divorce, others to slang drugs on the streets just to make ends meet. At the same time some women enter into prostitution while others try to stand in long lines in downtown to get government assistance. Being broke is no joke! I’m pointing out these different scenarios because it’s what we see in our neighborhoods and many of us can relate to them. I believe that none of the people that are struggling financially woke up one morning and said, “I want to be broke, I want to get married and get a divorce, and I want to be a prostitute.... read more
