“I take the Orange Line and the
#57 bus. Because it is early in the
morning, I get a seat; that’s where
I can get some of my homework
done. Once, when the #57 was
behind, I thought I’d be late, but
then I realized we had a delayed
start because of the faculty
meeting. What a relief!”

“Time in the car
commuting was
totally worth it!
It gave my sister
and me a chance
to share stories
about our day and
catch up on life.”

“My sister and I would walk
together on most days. The
snowdrifts this winter were
as tall as I am, but I guess
I’m not that tall... and we
survived! It’s only about
a five minute trip, which is
helpful — I can go back
and forth easily, especially
during Robotics season.”

“Aside from that time
we had trouble making
it up the icy hill after
one of the blizzards, the
drive is pretty easy. We
always get here at 7:00...
unless there’s a late start,
which for some reason
makes us even later! The
Corolla’s still going strong
after 300,000 miles!”

“We see the same people
on the train in both the
morning and evening
commute, so it’s like a little
community. We even have
the same train conductor
each way. One day I left
my iPad on the train and
he actually stopped the
train and waited for me
to go back on and get it!”

“With getting my two siblings
to different schools, my mom
and I are grateful we can carpool
with my friend Emily. But,
whenever Emily and I lower our
voices for a private conversation
about our day, the mom who is
driving turns down the radio to
hear what we’re saying!”
