Montgomery Bus Boycott

“You’re fired!” my head boss shouted at me as I was suddenly shoved out his office door. I stood there flabbergasted for a second, still in shock of the drastic turn my life had just made. I consider ripping the family picture off of the corkboard on his door and tearing it to shreds, just to make a point. He would be furious because every picture of his pink clad teenage daughter is worth as much to him as the real thing. It’s not like he’s ever home with his real family often enough to see…

started out by loading the bus at six in the morning at Senior. The sun was already out but the air still had a cold chill to it. All the girls on the team looked tired, their hair was messy and their eyes were barley open. I walked onto the bus and smelled something warm. I walk to the back of the hot bus to find a seat and someone had brought bagels from Big Apple Bagel for the whole team. I grabbed an apple cinnamon bagel and the first bite was soft and warm. The bus was very quiet because…

cold air surrounding my body. It’s winter and it’s the most outrages winter I’ve experienced in my life. I was strolling to my bus stop and as I begin to slow down I see the school bus was already coming up the hill following behind my tail to make a complete stop. There was about 5 other students with me anxiously waiting the bus to stop and then they all got on the bus one by one. All I could do is think about all of my best friend. We’re known as the Popular asian group at Jenny Lind. When…

When the school day of unbearable lectures was over, I slugged to the bus walking past all the unsocial kids sitting in the brown leather seats, with their backs to the window on their phones, not even looking up scared to start a conversation. As I approached my seat, Connor raced on the bus trying to push past me so he can win the silly, stupidly satisfying race, but I came out victorious. “Bro, what the heck! Why didn’t you let me past? I know you got the fat backpack and you feel the need…

I rode the bus every day in middle school and would interact with a few people who also lived in my neighborhood. They were in no way my friends, but the circumstances had left us stuck on a bus for 30 minutes with a different group of students who normally wouldn't interact. One girl was very religious and we would eventually ease into a logical debate about religion. Every afternoon as we rode from the school into our old neighborhood. I am a very confrontational person, and when I feel as if…

like this," I would be perfectly safe. In the 7th grade, I had to take the bus that dropped me off quite a ways away from my house, meaning that I had to walk quite the distance to my house. It wasn't a major problem, just a minor inconvenience at best. The main reason I took this specific route was to save some minutes sleeping in the early mornings, but I digress. So around 3 weeks pass since I first started taking the bus and nothing really major happens. The only think really worth knowing…

One week. Seven days. Six nights. One hundred sixty-eight hours. This was the amount of time I was supposed to spend in the middle of the dense forestry of Algonquin Park, with only a map, a compass, and nine other girls. As I rode the bus to the drop off point, I felt none of the excitement and giddiness everyone else seemed to be feeling. I had no desire to sing songs or play the alphabet game. The only thought occupying my distressed brain was the absolute terror that I had grown accustomed…
