Honorable Mention #6

 Terrell, Lewis Elementary 5th Grader, is our next Honorable Mention in our Student Essay Contest.


I enjoy riding in the rain. The rain feels nice when the water drips into the holes of my helmet. I love the smell of the air when it rains. Some people think riding in the rain is dangerous but in fact the only things different are you have to pull your brakes earlier and the roads are a little more slippery. My favorite part of riding in the rain is seeing how the light reflects off the ground, in my opinion that is beautiful.
