Hello friends,
We recently did an exhibition to showcase our Public Service Announcements that we had been working on for the past couple of months. It was fun to come up with an idea of something that needs to be fixed today, and then to make a script and film a video shedding light on our idea.
My PSA was on the issue of Drowsy Driving, something that almost everyone does pretty regularly, and which is about as dangerous as drunk driving. Here is an excerpt from my PSA:
“One thing that has been drilled into my and other teen’s heads is to never drink and drive. I haven’t really seen any of it among people my age, but I do occasionally see it among older folks. Something equally dangerous, but which we are rarely warned about, is drowsy driving. … Drowsy driving starts with excessive yawning, drifting, and missing exits. That’s also when drowsy driving should end, since the steps to prevent further harm are so easy. Not getting enough sleep is the biggest reason for drowsy driving, so make sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep and maintain a regular sleep schedule. If you ever start to feel drowsy during a long, monotonous car ride – pull over, take a quick nap, get a cup of coffee – it could save your life.”
The PSA helped me learn more about my chosen issue, which is an issue that new drivers like me should learn more about.
For those who would like to watch my PSA, here is the link. It is about a minute and a half:
See y’all next time!
