MORNING

I got my first car the month before my final year in high school. It was a used 1989 white Camry. I couldn't wait to take it for a spin. We spent a couple thousand dollars on it. But it was worth the money.

I was going to need it my senior year. I had to drive to take SAT's. I was on the tennis team and we would rotate drivers when we went on away games. I also wanted to be able to go out whenever I wanted.

I got my license a few months prior to getting my car. I spent weeks learning how to park, reverse, merge, and all the other fun stuff.

That morning, we met with the owner and I took the car for a test drive. I was satisfied with it and so was my father. So, we paid the owner in cash and took the car home.
