Dropping
items is a normal occurrence, but dropping a school laptop over a railing and
down a floor brings a whole new meaning to clumsy. Luminella, 16, and his brother, Brennan who
is currently enrolled at Oak Grove Elementary School and his mother who is a
banker moved to Roanoke from Abingdon early in his life. Luminella’s hobbies include reading science
fiction book and working with laptops and computers. As much as he enjoys working with laptops in
his freshman year, his laptop met an unfortunate fate. The stories have circulated throughout the
adolescent halls of Hidden Valley, but Luminella tells it as such “I was trying
to check blackboard for a test and I had my laptop sitting on the railing. When I went to turn around to talk to Caleb
Smith, I accidentally knocked it off. I
turned back around just in time to watch it explode against the ground floor.”
After the spill Luminella reports “The most embarrassing part was the walk of
shame carrying all of the parts with all of the teachers and students
watching.”
Luminella
has had an interest in laptops since he was very young and still remembers
getting his first laptop at age 9. “As
soon as the laptop was placed in my hands I felt myself becoming more
responsible.” said Luminella. When asked
where his first laptop is today, he replied “In pieces”, ironically his laptop
from freshman year seemed to fallen victim to the same outcome.
When Luminella brought his mangled laptop to Mr.
Fundikowski he claimed “Fundi didn’t ask many questions, which was surprising.”
After chatting with the eyewitness, Caleb Smith, the story was confirmed. Smith also added “It was pretty funny except
for the people below, who got scared at the fact that a laptop just smashed
against the ground.” Looking to the future Luminella wants to attend college;
however, he is not sure where.
Regardless of future education his carrier choice is in the internet
technology field, where we can only hope that none of those laptops end up in
pieces as well.
