When I get home from school I drop my bag and run. I run faster and faster and
faster, farther and farther away from my house. The cool breeze blows my hair into my
eyes. I see the trees of the woods. I run past the bush by my window. I smell the fresh
air. The wet grass smells of the signs of spring. I have a feeling of freedom. I clear my
mind of all the things I learned that day. I taste the sweet air. And the next minute I am
in front of my house again. I pick up my bag and go inside.
