Have you ever had something absolutely horrible happen to you and you didn’t know what to do about it? Well when I was in 2nd grade my elementary school, Gales Creek, closed it was the worst thing ever in my mind, besides when I felt like a deflated balloon after my first fish had died. All the kids from Gales Creek got sent to Dilley Elementary, I had been really nervous to be with a teacher I didn't know and my class wouldn’t be with people that I had known since kindergarten. It was in the middle of the year, close to the end, when the same lady that had brought up the idea to close down Gales Creek, had brought up closing down Dilley as well. She thought that we didn’t need to have students all the way out in the country

    I can still remember the day that would change my childhood life forever. It was the last day of fifth grade at my small elementary school. I had been there for years and I had become very close to the people there. Even though everyone else was excited for it to be summer, I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be attending the same school as everybody I knew. My parents wanted me to go to a charter school instead of the local middle school, since my brother had some problems at that school.

Finally we boarded the bus. I plopped down next to a girl named Ellie in the very back. As soon as we started moving, the bus got loud and cheerful. As we approached a winding road, laughing and singing, everyone cheered. We all saw the abandoned tunnel that everyone loved going under. Tunnels held some sort of mystery, and the anticipation of seeing the sunlight at the end excited us as kids. Suddenly the expression of joy and excitement froze as we heard a loud cracking noise from above us. Before any of us could utter a cry of fear, chunks of rock hit the top of the bus, crushing the front part. I remember someone grabbing my arm and uttering a frightened, “Enna.” It was little Ellie.
