Just 54 minutes of heart-racing adrenaline, tears, anger, sadness, fear, disgust, terror, and laughter. At 10 am on a sunny morning in January, the principal of Opportunity High School in Opportunity, Alabama, finishes her beginning of the semester speech. It’s the same speech each year, and so a senior named Tomas and his friend […]
