Memorial Day

This Memorial Day was very different for me this year. For the past four years I was subjected into going to my high school early in the morning to get ready for a parade stand in the hot sun for a few hours watch someone suffer from heat stroke and then have to share a bottle of water with five other people. After that I got to go home sit down and then make Italian hot dogs for my family for dinner. This year was the direct opposite. I woke up around ten, my dad was off of work which was a little weird for me. Then my parents went to the beach with their friends for the day as I sat and waited for my friend to pick me up and bring me back to school. I went the whole day not once thinking of the people who died for our country instead I was thinking "Man, I'm going to screw up what day it is all week." I did not have a good dinner, instead if was a lovely awful meal at the Handschmacher dining hall.
