I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from crime and　　　　 36　　 of a big city, and where teenagers like me 　37　 leaving to find something bigger and better.

All that changed one summer night. My friend Lisa, Martin and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa’s house. 　38 they kept handing alcohol to me I was pretty 　39　 . I asked Tyler to take me home. With some 　40　 , we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. My friend Martin was 　41 in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Martin, who was 　42 more drunk than me, got into his car and 43　 towards the highway to go home. Driving on the wrong side of the road, he never saw the truck coming. The driver didn’t see him 　44 to avoid the car. They hit head on. Martin died immediately, and the driver was thrown 　45 the truck windshield（挡风玻璃）and died a week later.

Whenever I 　46 back on that day, I can’t help thinking that it was my 　47 to drink so much that night. 　48 things would be different. I know Martin 　49 the choice to drink and drive that night, but a part of me will always feel 　50 for what happened.

I may not change the world with my story, but I do hope that by 　51 my story I can make you 　52 that you not only have a responsibility for yourself but also for others. Don’t ever think that your choices are yours 　53 . Every choice is like a stone dropped into 　 54　 water—each ripple (涟漪) represents someone who your choice 　55 . That’s quite an influence, isn’t it?
