As we grow and learn we become
more aware of our surroundings.
There are signs all around us that tell
us how to be safe whether traveling in
a car, train, plane, boat, swimming, or
by foot. It is important to be
knowledgeable about the world
around us especially as we reach the
age to be responsible for others.
