Seniors at West Orange High School in Winter Garden, Florida, were given the privilege of painting their parking spaces, and the results are spectacular. The program is incredibly popular at the school, with a father's bird's eye view drone photo showing virtually every spot in the lot painted in some form or another.
The styles of painted parking spaces differ from student to student. As one might expect, the teenagers make several references to various pop culture ephemera. One such reference, by a student named Martha Caldera, mimics the style of the cover from Drake's 'If You're Reading This It's Too Late' mixtape, but cleverly replaces "It's too" with "I'm."
Other parking spaces are more earnest, depicting adorable drawings and personal messages to friends and family. Regardless of the theme, the program is a hit that other schools should consider adopting to empower their seniors.
