I recently got charged for under age consumption, and
operating while intoxicated (OWI).
Although it hasn’t been long since the arrest, I feel it has affected me
personally, my family, and my friends.
It changed how I act and what I do.
Not only did I get in trouble, but I let my family members down. I was always told not to drive and when I got
in trouble it changed how I thought about the situation. Knowing that I could have killed someone is
devastating, and a risk that should not have been taken. Because of my actions, I am on probation and
am not allowed to even be around alcohol of any kind, for a year. Also, my drivers license got suspended for a
total of 90 days. During this time it
has affected everyone. I am stuck at
home and cannot visit friends, and my family has to drive me places. It sucks being known as a guy who has to ride
his bike to get to work.
On the other hand, I feel that I got lucky. I like to look at it in a way that it is
helping me. Rather than drinking
alcohol, I choose to do other activities that are better for my body and
mind. I think straighter and my
concentration lasts longer. While
alcohol can be fun, it slowly makes you a different person, and because of my
OWI I have learned that it isn’t all about partying and that at times you have
to take things seriously and take responsibility for your actions.
