Going to university is no easy feat and this was no more evident than on the day that I packed my bags. My mom fussed in front of me over how I should look out for wrongdoers as well as thieves. I believed, however, that they would not come for me.
Upon mother's insistence, I packed a college kit that she bought to serve as my home defense arsenal. The SafeFamilyLife Extreme College Survival Kit makes it easy for college students to get all the non-lethal self-defense tools that they need in one go.
The set has a lipstick pepper spray, 1 nap alarm, a 2 oz. pepper spray with wall mount, a 1/2 oz. pepper spray with visor clip, 1 electronic pocket whistle, a 1/2 oz. pepper spray with keychain, a Cell Phone Lite flashlight, a book diversion safe and a door stop alarm. Add to those an instructional manual and an instructional DVD along with reports on roommates, safe dating, how to secure one?s dorm or flat, college and campus safety tips, a report on college rape, tools for parents that they can employ to get sons and daughters ready for college.
Building a home defense arsenal is not silly at all. Some may think of it as a paranoid reaction but when I learned about what the kit can do and the knowledge that it imparts to young women, I realized how nice a gift it was.
As we got to my dormitory and I started unpacking, father installed a new window lock and told me, "You'd better close those windows whenever you leave." After we enjoyed a quick lunch at the nearest cafeteria, my folks went home. Attending UCLA was a dream come true, so to cap the day, I went around town for the night with Sarah, my roommate.
I had the kit that was my home defense arsenal on the bed, thinking that I would have time to watch the tutorial DVD that night. When we got back to our room, I realized that we had, in fact, left the windows open. And then I saw 2 men standing there. Sarah was terrified.
Immediately, I took hold of the SafeFamilyLife Extreme College Survival Kit and sprayed the delinquents with my lipstick pepper spray. Sarah utilized the electronic pocket whistle so that someone would come for us.
The dorm supervisor together with her assistants rushed to our room and saw the two men lying on the floor, coughing because of my disguised pepper spray. One contacted 911 immediately. I am grateful that mom purchased a home defense arsenal or we would have faced burglars or maybe rapists.
