 OW DO YOU GET TO SCHOOL? As the new school year rolls around each fall, kids begin to wonder how they will get to school. For most kids, the bus is their form of transportation, but for the lucky few who own cars or have a neighbor with a car, they are on easy street. First, let’s talk about the bus. The big, yellow bananas that pick up all the kids waiting on the streets. On the first day of school, the busses are usually packed and after that, the kids slowly find different modes of transportation. Few upperclassmen ride the buses. They are usually full of noisy little freshmen. One senior, who rides the bus, said, “I was on the bus in a seat all to myself with my stuff in the other half of the seat. The seats were all filled up, when the bus driver pulled up at the next stop. Ten people got on the bus. As they proceeded down the aisle, I could see a freshman looking to find a seat. The freshman noticed my seat was half empty. Little did he know my books were occupying the rest of my seat. Anyway, he came back to me seat and sat down. He thought he would get me to move my books, but I didn’t. I was too stubborn. Finally, we got to school and the freshman smiled at me. I just gave him a look. After that, he never sat with me again.” Another senior said, ‘‘It’s the pits to ride the bus.” Driving to school is the dream everyone waits for; it really sets you free. You are able to leave for school when you want, instead of when the bus picks you up. You can also cruise, listening to the radio and possibly pick up some breakfast. The cars in the parking lot vary in style and size. All kinds are seen from the 1968 Chevy owned by Karen Bailey to the 1984 Mustang owned by Brenda Novak. Each car features a Rogers Raiders car sticker. Also, there are a variety of different bumper stickers and license plates such as the “Add In” plate on Greg McBride’s car. Kids will always need to get to school. The big decision is will it be cars? Buses? Cars? Buses? -Debby Cook Transportation 15
