On Tuesday, Nov. 16th, we had the annual Crusin' Not Boozin' assembly. In each assembly, speakers told their tragic stories and brought the message to us of how their mistakes affected them and their families. The stories at both assemblies were remarkable.
All of us have sat with speakers who survived from big errors like drinking, drugs, recklessness or big problems like eating diorders. Sometimes we don't even hear the speakers because we are so used to this kind of thing. But sometimes we do.
There really is no way to judge who is being helped by bringing these speakers to us. I hear with my adult ears. What do you hear with your younger ears? You know what I mean: does it help to listen to survivors?

The guy at our assembly didnt really seem to care all that much he kind of just read off a paper and didnt seem sincere
The guy at our assembly just stood there and looked sad. he read off his paper and did not seem sincere. the woman withe him who was his friends mother seemed sincere.
I thought that it seemed like the guy at our assembly was forced to do it and it didn't really sound like he wanted to be there. He didn't sound sincere and just read off the paper the whole time.
the guy didnt seem sincere when he made his speech
I agree with the rest of the posts. The guys didn't care about what he was saying. He was there just as an example for us.
