Turner 1 Pamela Turner English 1302-2 Ditching School In the late 70’s my father became ill and was unable to work.

biological family could never learn of each other, so I had no choice but to become a master of information control. Back on the West Side, on 2nd Ave & 48th street I’m breaking down weed in my brand new grinder at 7: 15 am. The big yellow school bus should be here by 7:30, that gives me enough time to break it down and put it in the baggies to make sales throughout the school day. I go to Palisades Charter High school, in other words one of the predominantly white schools in Los Angeles County

The skytran bus sped through the runway and latched itself up onto the magnetic rails high into the heavens. Sebastian High School couldn’t afford new buses, hence my class receives this worn-out rustic geezer instead. Near the walls, floral curtains drape the windows and carpet, blankets the tiled floor. Just when I grow tired, eating up every inch of scenery through the grimy window, we ascend higher and pass Helios city on the cloud islands. These monstrous structures dwarf our little-sized raft

distance. "Four," I said to myself, "Find bus number four." After walking for what felt like an eternity, I finally came to my bus. I managed to draw a final breath of the heavy emission-polluted air as I looked up at the threatening yellow vehicle, which towered over me. "I hate this," I thought. "I don't like this school. I don't like these kids, and I don't like my teacher. I just want to go home." But unfortunately, I couldn't. My first time riding a bus also happened to be the day that we moved

answering these questions, I conclude that public transport is the best way to get around when you are young, limited financially, and pressed. There are many reasons that can persuade a student to take the subway or the bus rather than his car to go to school. For example, one bus can replace more than forty cars, saving 70,000 liters of fuel and prevent the release of 168 tons of pollutants per year. (“Le Guide du Bon $ens au Volant”, 2002). These statistics show us the environmental and financial

hundred meters away from the school, we witnessed a tragic accident. it all happened very quickly, as most accidents do. A car full of school children had made a left turning without signaling and as a result a school bus crashed into it. A few cars behind the school bus rammed into the bus as they could not brake in time and soon it became a pile up. The already congested road became jammed with vehicles that came to a crawl. I told my sister that I wanted to help the victims and she nodded silently
