Humans of Sophomore Honors: Ashley

For my Sophomore Honors English class, I interviewed Ashley about a childhood memory that stuck with her.

“I remember everything that I felt this one night. My dad and I got home like- he picked me up from like pre-school. He worked late nights, and we needed to get the mail. It was raining so hard. There was hail and everything it was horrible. I don’t know- my dad was such a teenage character in my life. He was really immature but I loved that about him. So uh- we ran to the mailbox just completely drenched. It was freezing. My mom was so upset with us but she was smiling because she knew that was going to be like- a memory that would stick with me. And it did.”
