It is amazing how fast you become popular when you have license and others don't. It was a typical day, 12:15 the lunch bell rang and me and my two so called friends jumped in my little green Toyota. Open lunch! No cafeteria or no supervision at lunch time can be a hazard, to some of us as it was to me. This is one situation that should have been corrected a long time ago at Paintsville High School. It happened one fall afternoon during lunch break at school.

Making mistakes is human nature, none of us are exempt. We are all human, therefore we all make mistakes, but the one thing that comes out of these mistakes, is we usually learn a lesson.
