Why I should be chosen for the Drivers education scholarship.

Driers Education Contest

My name is Kayla Tadewosian, I am a sophomore at Cal state Bakersfield and it is also my second year apart of the Women's Softball team playing for the roadrunners. This scholarship caught my eye because I believe there are many important things about drivers ed that many people just let fly an don't pay attention to. The importance of drivers ed in reducing the number of deaths as a result fro driving is because it has been proven that teens that take the driving course are less likely to get into a car crash, they have more knowledge of what is going on the road and they are more cautious and aware of themselves and everyone around them, in which everyone on the road should be like that.

Steps that can be taken to reduce the number of deaths on the road can start with everyone having a clear knowledge of drivers ed and the safe way to do anything on the road. First things first, your seatbelt is the most important while driving and making sure if you are intoxicated you have a designated driver before hand already planned out, and when on the road you need to be cautious for the other drivers because as much as you may be a good driver there are many out there that aren't and need the extra safety and knowledge. I personally have never had experience with bad driving or a car accident but both friends, family and strangers I have heard or seen many things happen. I learn from each of their mistakes and I think that is what makes me a better driver is learning from others failures and friends have gotten to many accidents that could've been easily prevented by just being EXTRA cautious and careful. To me that is irresponsible driving because if there was a way to prevent it then you didn't care enough to do it and that needs to change, because now you are suffering the consequences for a reason.

Steps I can take to be a better driver are, sometimes taking a step back and making sure that I carefully pay attention the drivers around me because like i said I can be as good as I can and try to be perfect but sadly there are many out there that don't care. There are many things we can change in the driving world but the first thing you need to understand is that you can only control you and nobody else, be as prepared as you can but even sometimes that's not enough but I pray it is overtime anyone gets into a vehicle I hope the drive safely. Thank you for your time.
