Bush, in december of 1966 at the age of 20 he was arrested for disorderly conduct after he and some friends had a few beers and stole a christmas wreath from a hotel(Hutheld J H,1999). Another disorderly conduct is when he was visiting his parents in Washington DC, he takes his brother with him at the age of 16 to drink and on the way home Former President Bush lost control of his car and ran over a trash can, but keep on driving till he get home, even though the trash can was making loud noise. When his father called him to talk about his behavior, and he get angry and asked him “do you want to go mano-a mano with me”.

These are the impact of drinking and under the influence of alcohol. (Hutheld,J H 1999).

The three open and close questions are as follow: 1,What strategy can i use to talk to my kids about drinking and driving? 2,States one law that has being enforce recently on college convicted drunk drivers? 3,Can drunk driving in colleges and high school be preventable.

4,Would most adults/ parents be aware about there kids drinking habit and don’t do anything to stop them. 5,How hard can it be for college s tudent to change their ways of socializing and partying without being drunk. 6,How many people die each year under the age of 21 and being under the influence of alcohol? Reasoning Behind Asking These Questions Describe your reasoning behind this line of questioning. The reasoning behind these questions is to implement ways and prevent the risk of college drunk driving. 1,As a mother of four kids i want to know when and what strategies to use when i need to emphasize on the risk of underage drinking.

2,One best law enforced is the ignition interlock, am happy about this laws because it is a breath taking device ignition system, That means when a drunk driver wishes to start the engine they must first breath into the the device. 3, I think drunk driving can be preventable 100% if parent can be involve in their child life or with more strict laws. 4, yes, i think so because some parents are convicted drunk driver that have commit the same offense multiple times, and these type of parent do not check on their kids. 5,For college student to change their ways of socializing and partying can be done but how i don’t know.

6, There are many young people dying under the influence of alcohol and what are the approach taking to prevent this issues. Anticipated Responses to Questions Discuss how you think the interviewee might respond to the questions; consider body language that might be seen I anticipate the interviewee will respond seriously and address the issues of drunk drinking more effectively,because he is the chief of police for the state of Maryland. He has being handling many cases regarding alcohol. His body language will show professionalism, i think he will be well dress in black suit and purple shirt, and a purple tie.

I think he will be sitting in a upright position, facing towards the interviewer. He will maintain eye contact and his facial expression will be serious as he emphasize on the points. I think there will be hand movement as he emphasize his point more effectively. Secondary Questions List three questions that you intend to ask if there is time or if the interviewee seems open to more questions. 1, Educational classes or programs start at middle school instead of high school and colleges? 2,Should student be expel from school if they are under the influence of alcohol?

The survey revealed that 14% of college students report that they have consume 10 or more drinks at the same time and others revealed 5 or more drink at the same time. (NIAAA,2014)Alcohol consumption among college student is an important issue that should be address effectively.

Since 1930’s the legal drinking age in the united states has been set at 21. Many states thinks the legal drinking age should be set at 18-20, because others are deprived from the ability to be able to buy their own drinks and enjoyed themselves. (speak up, 2012). They think when they are drunk they feel socially skilled and wonderful impulsive, others thinks is fun and its help them to avoid shyness and bond with new people.

Student who have being under strict supervision of their parents intend to consume more alcohol until they get wasted. The important issue is to get college student to make better decision. (speak up,2012). The credibility of this source is ok but i do not think is reliable for others but for me it is. When i decided to re-enter college again, i hope i will be successful this time.

College drinking habit is a nightmare, victims or families killed by a drunk driver advocates a lifeline of 61,000 victims. (Madd,2013). The result are overwhelming especially when the victim is your family member, or love ones. Student who drink are more likely to die in a car crash, get pregnant, flunk school,be sexually assaulted and become an alcoholic later in life and take their own life through suicide. (Madd,2014). The new law in place since 2012 is the interlock device, it is a breath taking device that linked to the ignition system, and when the driver blood alcohol is high the engine will not start.

(Madd,2012). I think this device will save lives. The accessibility of this source is great and i believed its will help me through my project . Writing is one of my weaknesses and as i progress on my career as a medical assistant, i realize writing is very essential to my career. Every spear time i had i will try to read books magazines and the news paper in order to improve my writing and i believed one day i will be a good writer.
