Who's afraid of the big bad bus?

·

I used to be terrified of riding public transportation. Yes, I was a child that grew up in a bubble. I lived a minute walk away from my private Catholic school in north Washington, D.C. My mother was a stay-at-home mum who could come at my beck-and-call. I can’t remember the number of times that she brought the lunch that I had forgotten to school, or came to pick me up when I had a really bad migraine. I lived a sheltered (dare I say spoiled) life, and nothing had destroyed that innocent little school child I was.

Sunday afternoon, The Observer Editorial Board interviewed the candidates running for student body president and vice president: juniors Bryan Ricketts and Nidia Ruelas and sophomores Neil Joseph and Noemi Ventilla. After evaluating both tickets’ goals, clarity of communication, practicality of plans and overall organization, we endorse Ricketts and Ruelas.
