COMPLICATED FAMILY

The high school I attended was public and just like many public schools, we had hundreds of students in each class. As many as we were, we all knew each other either by real names or by nicknames given to us by other classmates. We were also very close and we always looked out for each other. A student could commit an offense right now but the whole class won’t reveal his identity and we would suffer the consequences together. Safe to say we were a complicated family.

In my time, soundboxes and radios were very common. Students often hid them in their bags and brought them to school. While some were smart enough to play them outside classes, my class in particular, was different. Each time these students had the opportunity, they would play loud songs and the whole class would dance to the tune of music.
