Personal Narrative: A Day At Alleghany High School

A small breeze, along with salty air, crept through the window as the sun started to slowly fall below the horizon at Venice Beach. Beep. I took out my phone and saw a text from my husband that said, “Stacy, I’m going to be home late due to a meeting at work. Go ahead and eat dinner with Maddie.
