Got a phone call this morning...3 years ago I was a manager for a lumber company. I hired a young kid of 21 years old. he was 6'7" 300 lbs..but had a soft heart and no work ethics. He would come in not shaved and with earings. Well it took me a bit to guide him into doing the right thing---at one time he was almost crying in front of me because I was scolding him because he has so much potentional and he's shitting it away. Keep in mind I am 5'5" looking up at this giant...well besides the work ethics he had a problem with drinking and driving..he had 2 DUI's and I explained to him please drink at home and don't open a beer in your vehicle...he listening for alittle while...well he got promoted to assistant mgr in Orlando, I still kept in touch. I thought he was doing good. He stayed there about a year and was promoted to manager in Georgia. I still kept in touch and went to visit my student...well he got another DUI..so I again explained to just drink at home and finally agreed...thank god...then he got fired for some stupid shit...the company rehired him as a dispatch in Plant city...I again kept in contact, he was doing good...well I changed jobs and didn't talk to him for awhile maybe 2 months...until I got the call...he was driving on I4 towing a boat the flipped he was not wearing a seat belt....so he flew out the window and was crushed by his truck...he is dead....please wear seat belts if he did tthis 23 year old would be alive.....
