Teen Maze shows students the results of their actions
0502maze1
Gainesville Middle School students watch as emergency personnel create the scene of a fatal accident involving alcohol Thursday afternoon at Woods Mill Academy during Teen Maze. The Teen Maze walked students through a true maze of life decisions, all beginning at a party where alcohol was present. Each choice led to a steady cascade of consequences, from getting booked into jail, turning your life around and graduating, or ending up in a casket.
Mirta Jimenez had a happier outcome than most. After a stint in juvenile court for drunk driving, the Gainesville Middle student ended up making right choices and eventually graduated from high school. It was all a made-up scenario, one of many Jimenez and other students got to live during the first Teen Maze event Thursday, held at Wood’s Mill Academy and hosted by Hall County Family Connection.
