Being the Mom of kindergarten twins and a teen brings new obstacles, accomplishments and achievement of milestones daily. During the summer our teen received his learner’s driving permit and we have begun the teaching him not only about driving but safety on the road.

Driving for teens can be very challenging especially given all of the current technical distractions, i.e. texting, talking on cell phones, playing games or apps, using social media while driving, etc.  Celebrate My Drive, powered by State Farm,  is all about the power of positivity – it’s a celebration of one of life’s great rites of passage and the freedom that comes with earning a driver’s license. Auto crashes are the number one cause of death among teens in North America and a teen’s first year on the road is the most dangerous.

Using research as a guide, State Farm is approaching teen driver safety, a winnable public health battle, by engaging teens while they learn to drive in a supportive and positive way.  It’s a community celebration of safe driving habits emphasizing the benefits of safe choices as teens celebrate the freedom that comes with getting a drivers’ license, i.e., helpful reminders like “2N2™” – keeping 2 eyes on the road and 2 hands on the wheel.

Every day this week, October 18-26, you have the chance to make daily safe driving commitments on behalf of a high school. The more commitments made in a school’s name, the better the chances of winning a grant (up to $100,000) for a high school.

I have two older brothers and one of my brothers is, Dr. Aaron Gonzalez, Headmaster of Calvary Christian Academy, in Ormond Beach, Florida. Students in Ormond Beach are rallying their local neighborhoods and the social media community to commit to safe driving.  Calvary Christian Academy is committed to keeping teens safe on the road, and that’s why they are participating in Celebrate My Drive, a program that’s all about celebrating the fun of getting a driver’s license while teaching all drivers positive habits to help avoid car crashes.
