Have you ever been driving with your seat your belt the wrong way? It was a August 25, 2017,a few week before school started and I still haven’t gotten any school supplies. Around 8:00 in the morning I asked “can we get school supplies?”, and my mom said “yes”. My dad said that he wanted to stop by the mall, so we headed towards the mall.

As I stumbled out, I could see that my dad could barely walk with some help, which made me extremely worried. My dad finally sat down on an electrical box.
