Last school year there was 27 students in Volusia County who got hit by a car from or to school in which two resulted as death. With only 10 days of school already five Volusia County students have been hit. We as adolescents believe that a car sees us when we cross the street whether is on foot or a bike. The truth is they really don't see you until you're an inch away from their car, their job as drivers is to be aware of pedestrians, however, we as pedestrians have to also be aware of cars. This is not a good way to start this school year, it's scary to wake up walk to school or even to the bus stop knowing that you can be hit by a car. People are always in a hurry sometime we just have to breath, calm down, and take is slow, students cross where they are not supposed to just to save up a little of time (maybe seconds) and get struck by a car, drivers forget all about school zones and drive fast without looking for pedestrians crossing and next thing they know they've hit a student. Whether you walk, ride your bike or drive to school, always be aware of what and who is around you.
