It was 8:30 am in the morning and Athena barely woke up. Her alarm was set to seven, so she could relax that morning. Her class began at nine. She did not want to worry to get to class on time. After the annoying alarm beeped, Athena quickly changed from pajama pants and over-sized sweatshirt into dark red jeans and a periodic table of the elements shirt. She put on a black sweater, grabbed her backpack, and ran out of the door at 8:40 am. In fifteen minutes, she would get to school. Five minutes later, her class would start.

As Athena drove she liked to look at the people on the street.

A tall man stood at a corner bus stop eating two donuts and drinking a small coffee. He wore a brown jacket and jeans. His blond hair flowed in the wind while he took a bite of one of the donuts.

"I wish my hair was as luscious as his," thought Athena.

Then, a lady jogged with her dog on the sidewalk. Since it was going to rain, she wore a pink raincoat and rain boots. She didn't even look uncomfortable. Also with a pink raincoat and rain boots, the lady jogger's dog ran in the drizzling rain.

“What a weird thing to wear while running,” commented Athena.

Afterward, a small kid ran for a ball that rolled across the street. Luckily there were no cars, except for Athena's car one block away. When the kid reached the other side of the road he raised his hands high into the sky triumphantly. Then he walked into a pet store nearby.

"Why isn't he is school?" asked Athena.

There weren’t many people on the street today. Thirteen minutes into her drive and while at a red light, Athena spotted a little old lady with a grocery cart full of groceries attempting to cross the street. Her grocery cart was stuck on the curb, though. She pushed and pushed, but it would not budge. Athena considered pulling over to help, however, the red light would not change. Finally, the grocery cart budged. It went. It moved. It allowed the little old lady to advance. Athena was so happy to see the little old lady move again that she grinned so big her mouth hurt. The little old lady could finally take her groceries home or wherever she was going. As Athena drove past the little old lady, she grinned even more.

“What a wonderful thing to see this morning,” said Athena.
