Review of Making It To School
This witty piece takes a humorous look at the troubles of making it to school on time. The narrator has a tardy problem and takes it upon herself to get to the bottom of it. She interviews students and teachers at her school about tardy policies and the reasons behind tardiness. She also takes a close look at her daily morning and only then is able to solve the mystery.
The topic of this piece is what really makes it interesting and fun to listen to. The incorporation of background noises and interviews from other students/teachers really adds to the overall audio.
