"The program had a tremendous impact on (the students) because each had to hear his/her own obituary read aloud and watch his/her own funeral. Many students now say that they will never drink because they do not want to put their parents through the true-to-life events of those two days." -- Faculty member, Carrollton Christian Academy

"To be quite frank . . . Shattered Dreams took my school and turned it upside down."
-- Shattered Dreams high school participant

"I have never been so naïve to think we didn’t need a program like this at our school, because each and every student in each and every high school is in danger of a tragedy involving teenage drinking and driving. After having participated in this program, I thank God that we have been protected so far and pray that through this program our students will realize the horrible consequences of irresponsible actions."
-- Shattered Dreams high school participant's parent

"I have never seen a program that has had a more positive and impressive impact on our students." -- High school faculty member

"As I gazed around, tears streamed from faces that I had never dreamed I would see tears. Nothing needed to be said . . . reality did all of the speaking." -- Shattered Dreams high school student

"There have been too many comments, notes, and calls made that affirmed that this program definitely made an impact on our students and parents. My own daughter commented to her teacher that she would not ever possibly put us through what we had to face those two days." -- High school participant’s parent

"I never dreamed that (the program) would be as successful as it was." -- High school department chair

"Whether it wants to be looked at or not, there is a handful of people in every situation who want to say and how to say it. Shattered Dreams gave me an opportunity to yell it loud and clear." -- Shattered Dreams high school student
