ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- For Jamie McWilliams the walk at West Orange High School was 7 years in the making. On April 7th, 2002 Jamie's 20-year-old son Justin was killed in an accident in field in west Orange County. Justin was hit and killed by a truck, the driver left the scene.

"I called this whole night the domino effect of poor choices," Jamie McWilliams told a group of students.

After Justin's death Jamie worked tirelessly and successfully to change Florida law. The Justin McWilliams Act makes it a felony to leave the scene of an accident on private property. But changing the law wasn't enough for Jamie. Jamie was here to present, for the first time, her program "Make The Right Choice" to students at West Orange High School.

"When I speak to these kids I am there to tell them the story of what happened to Justin and hopefully they'll take from that...they'll make better choices than those choices were made that early April 7th morning when he was killed," said Jamie McWilliams.

This first presentation was especially meaningful to Jamie because Justin was in the West Orange High graduating class of 2000.

Jamie's hope is that these kids will take just a moment to think before they act.

"When I was walking out to speak to those kids I knew that I may make the difference in keeping one of them from making a choice over spring break or their upcoming prom. It's very emotional, I'm very excited for them," McWillams said.

Even though she had, in a way, been preparing for this moment for several years Jamie McWilliams was still moved at times.

"I think the most powerful moments in my presentation was when I asked those students how many of them had been to a funeral of a friend within the last 5 years, and these are kids ages 16 and 17 years old.," McWilliams said.

"How many of you have lost a friend, or have had a friend pass away in the last five years?" she asked the crowd. "Oh, my."

Jamie McWilliams was pleased with the reaction she received from the high schoolers.

"The attentiveness of these students was overwhelming to me, it's still overwhelming to me that I could keep that many students interested in what I have to say, which further validates my going out and telling this story," McWilliams said.

"What Mrs. McWilliams had to present to us today I think really touched lives of students at West Orange, being that her son attended West Orange. It's going to sink in.," said Jamarien P. Moore, a junior at West Orange High School.

"Oh my yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I even cried a little part and I saw some people tearing up and she did an amazing job. I think her son would be very proud," said West Orange High senior Rebecca Bower.

Jamie McWilliams will be delivering her message to other high schools in Orange. Her hope is that she will be taking this message to students across the country.

"I'm here to, not blame and not talk about and not say this shouldn't have happened, or why is it my son. This is my destiny, this is what I'm supposed to be doing and I'm grateful to here doing this for our kids and I hope that they'll make the right choice and keep their parents from having to get that phone call. That's why I'm doing this," Jamie McWilliams said.
