Grateful
My grandpa has always told me how lucky I am to be able to attend such a great school. It never came to mind why he would always say that to me when I brought up school. It wasn’t until I really saw what it meant to attend a good school and live in a nice home. I never thought of the importance of being employed or what happens when your parents aren’t able to provide for you. I never realized how to be thankful for my life until that day.
I woke up early and put on my pink skirt just as if we were going to my school. My mom picked out something else for me to wear instead.

I walked into three rows of desks, I quickly sat down and immediately the first bell rang, well buzzed over the intercom. After the bell buzzed Ms.Brown called me up to the front of the room and introduced me. She looked at me as she said my name which was strange until it dawned on me that there is a picture of me from my family hiking trip in my mom’s classroom.

She said the were in a lockdown and that nobody was allowed out of their rooms and that teachers should do a count of students. I knew what to do because I had done a drill like this a few months ago at my school. Except for this time when the principal said it wasn’t a drill, I suddenly forgot everything that I thought that I had known before. I was trembling but I seemed to be the only one looking as if they were about to pee their pants. The other kids and the teacher Ms.Pierce were all very calm. I thought that it was because this was their school but I was wrong, they were familiar with their surroundings but the practice was from experience. This has happened before.
