Tough start to senior year

9/14/2023

Liam Rippel

I had a very rough start to my senior year. I set my alarm for the wrong time on the first day of school. My family moved this summer, but let me stay in the dorms so that I could finish high school at North Cross. So, my first morning in the dorms did not go well. My mother viewed my location at 8:40 a.m., and saw that I was still at the dorms. “Dad and I will arrive this evening to get your car,” was my mom’s response to my being late. So my parents decided to take my car back to Blacksburg, which is where my family moved to. Unfortunately, I will not be seeing my car for two weeks at the least.
