Four years ago, I started commuting to my high school — which is an hour away — by train. But that ended when I started high school at The Hudson School, which is 25 miles away from my home in Madison, New Jersey. AdvertisementNow that I'm a high school senior, I look back fondly on my four-year commute. AdvertisementI imagined how much easier it would be if I were a regular high school student who took the bus to school. Still, I'm glad I got to commute 25 miles every day before heading off to collegeLooking back at the past four years, I realize commuting has helped prepare me for the real world — outside high school.
