  2. Research • Topic - is age the biggest contributing factor to car accidents? • Why? – I am curious as to why Johnston County has such a high percentage of kids dying due to car accidents.

  3. Causes • Hand-held cell phones • Alcohol • Speeding • Amount of people • Small vehicles

  4. Young Age • Common sense & judgment • Mental and physical abilities and limitations • 16 year olds • Age is not a good indicator

  5. How to make a difference • Being a good role model • Choosing safe cars • Accident Awareness Classes • Discussing the importance of abstaining from alcohol & drugs • Parents

  6. Johnston County • Highest teenage car accidents • Shannon Adkins • She was the 27th teen to die in a crash in Johnston County since 2006 • Why Johnston county?

  7. obstacles • Personal voice • Reliable Websites • Too many statistics • Repeated information

  8. Successes • Learned a lot that I didn’t know when dealing with car accidents. • Ways to prevent Car accidents • The paper ended up flowing together better than I thought it would (statistics)

  9. Link • After focusing on the major causes and distractions that cause car accidents in my paper, I decided to make a documentary on a recent Clayton High School graduate. I wanted to open the eyes of teenagers at Clayton and show them how quick a car accident can happen.

  11. What I Learned • I learned that making a difference is not hard if you put your mind to it. • This experience has shown me how easily one video can affect hundreds of people. • After talking with Adonis’ mom I came to realize life is too short. • I learned how to manage my time better.

  12. Reflection • This was not a project, but an experience. I’m glad I chose the topic I did because it changed how I view things now. After completing the video I felt a sense of accomplishment not only with myself but how I touched other people’s lives.

  13. Future • This project has made me realize how much I love video editing and how I might consider taking classes in that field. I want to grow from this experience and keep helping the community. There will be no empty seats for the class of 2013 due to car accidents.

  14. Thank you.
