It was a routine of mine, to drive from my home in the suburbs up to Kansas City and back to the empty roads south of my house. This was a trend for us my high school, being old enough to want to do impactful and exciting things but never getting taken seriously. Are we listened to or is this another high school walkout situation? I decided to come home for the first summer in three years this year, to work with The Kansas City Star’s Opinion team. Divya Gupta is a Kansas City Star Opinion intern.
