BART Lines: 826 Valencia is a partnership between BART and San Francisco-based literary nonprofit 826 Valencia that invited over 100 students, ages 9 to 18, to write about the transit experience as both inspiration and subject.

I met Avril Lavigne on BART and here's how it went. I was on BART and saw Avril Lavigne. She had a disguise on to not get crowded by people. She was on her phone playing "Girlfriend" featuring Lil Mama.
       I said, "Hi!" I gasped and said, "Y-Y-Y-YOUR AVRIL LAVIGNE!" 
       She said, "Yep, that's me". I gave her a hug and took a picture with her. She said, "Bye. Umm, what's your name?" 
       I said, "Oh, Milli." We said bye and I left. I asked my mom to print the picture at her job. It was fun. So, if you meet a celebrity on a BART line take your chances and say hi!
