    Ana, “we’re almost here.” I looked up just in time to see the soccer park that I’d much rather be at, opposed to the high school across the street. Cars were already filling up the school parking lot, I knew that we’d be walking a long way to the swimming pool. I displayed my disgust openly and audibly as my family and I unpack everything we would need from the car.
