with small rays of light peeking through. Furthermore, it was that time of day where the sun has been up for a little while, yet no one is quite fully awake. Drowsily, I watched the trees and fields pass through the smudged window of the backseat of our family car. Simultaneously, the sounds from the radio entertained me as we drove down the interstate, we were on our way home from visiting family in Cincinnati for the Labor Day weekend. It was the typical boring car ride everybody sits through up until
Ethnography of the “Blue House”: Plano Day Labor Center While making the drive on my way to school, my father decides to take a short detour to go pay his worker. It is early in the morning and still very grey outside which facilitated my usual slumber. This detour meant nothing more to me than simply that of a detour, but it wasn 't until I was suddenly awaken by the car being strangely rocked like that of a small raft in the sea. Being nearly eight years old, I 'm instantly on high alert and very

My first "Track Day" at the Auto Club Speedway was in June. It was a great experience since I had the ability to check all the technical components of my car before driving it on the track. I drove for a bit at the track, but got caught up in observing the more experienced
Saturday of Labor Day Weekend, I moseyed off to the garage to crank up the Briggs and Stratton engine on the Billy Blake’s purchased piece of shit lawn mower.

I felt as if I were in a higher position in life than these creatures, like` I was a king walking through my dungeon of imprisoners. I wanted to free them all so badly, because having so much control and not doing anything with it is useless.
