I have been through too many incidents yet it has been just a month since I left home for college. It has been an unexpected roller coaster ride, more so in my dorm.
I thought I lived in a perfectly safe place until two men broke into my room. It happened some weeks ago close to midnight. I was about to go to sleep when I heard voices whispering. The lights were out. I thought at first the voices came from outside but all of a sudden I was not sure anymore.
My heart started to pound quickly and I could not move a muscle. They thought I was asleep but I took a peek. I saw them grabbing things and putting those in their bags. It was a good thing I had my personal safety alarm with me.
I got the personal safety alarm from my mom before I became a dormer. I keep it under my pillow. She said that this key chain alarm with light will increase my home security and can also be used for travel protection.
Slowly and quietly, I reached for my key chain alarm with light under my pillow. Once my palm landed on it, I immediately pressed the alarm button. It sounded a 130dB alarm so loud that my dorm mates were awakened.
My dorm mates were already inside my room even before the burglars knew it. The authorities came and apprehended them at once.
Do you see how useful a personal safety alarm is? Those robbers could have gotten away with my stuff if I had no home security tool. I told my mom what happened. She immediately visited me the following day.
She talked to the building administrator about the importance of home security. She even recommended to require every student to take their own personal safety alarm along.
