I think a Nintendo Switch would be a good gift because it could be used at home or on the go. It could be used with friends or by yourself. You can also play it on your TV or it can be handheld. It makes a good game to play at parties and can be played with competition.

Lucky Number 13

Hadley Horner, Class of 2022

I hurry to board my plane, afraid that I might miss my flight 

I glance down at my phone to check the hour

It seems I have a window seat, much to my delight 

For now, I can only see bleak buildings and tall towers

With a jolt, the plane takes to the air

Out the window, I view tiny ships lined in the port 

I place my headphones in my ears

Hoping for some rest, even if its short

Once we land, a cab takes me to Tokyo’s center 

Eyes wide, I examine the imposing skyscrapers 

Tomorrow, a train will take me to my adventure 

In this beautiful, metal city, I am but a stranger

From the plane to the buildings and everything between 

It was all aluminum, lucky number 13
