Shoot! I thought. I didn’t want to wake up Darry, he looked so peaceful. More peaceful than I have seen him in years. He only worked one job now so he could spend more time with Sodapop and I. The judge said that he would take care of some of our expenses so Darry could be home to help me get better. It really worked. My grades in school improved as well as my attitude. I worked really hard on my English grade, I wanted to make my teacher proud.

It was her first time ever driving to school without a parent present in the car, and boy was she nervous. After she had gotten ready and eaten breakfast, she headed out for her first day at a school called Dubuque Senior High school. As soon as she gets there she realizes she'd have to parallel park because all the parking spots in the lot were sadly taken. Junie was nervous, she'd never parallel parked before and this time everyone was watching her. It was time for Junie to make her move and she wings it! It was a huge relief for her, and she was just happy nobody saw her terribly mess up on parking, and didnt make a bad first impression.

“Okay, here we are” The man in the moving truck says as he hops out of the truck to help me unload. “Thanks for the ride.” I said shortly as he opened up the hatch and started unloading my furniture. “You a college girl?” he asked being a bit nosy, I replied simply with “ Yeah, it’s my first year,”. He looked at me and laughed, his voice echoing through the rural neighborhood. “Ain’t no colleges in Chandler.” I looked at him rather surprised as I said “Yes there is, the community college.” He looked at me with an almost worried look on his face. “Didn’t figure you would be going to a smaller college like that. My mistake.”

As the students of Mrs. Davis class were researching a paper about their future careers, all Chris could do was just sit there and think. He didn’t have a plan, he didn’t know what he was going to do after high school but most importantly he didn’t know what he was going to do after college.

All he really wanted was a career that didn’t require him to leave his home and a career that would help his community.
