be yourself

This year, I promised myself to get all good grades. I entered the 6th grade this year, and on the first day of school all the teachers said, "Everything is going to be okay" and "Don't worry about it"

I wasn't okay though. I felt as if I was invisible. Nobody wanted to talk to me, probably because I was also from a different neighborhood. I saw all the other abnoxious "cool" 6th graders trying to be funny, and trying to impress other people by having a boyfriend or girlfriend.

A 7hr school day would be a billion times longer for me. I felt as if I didn't belong here, because I didn't. So I tried to keep my grades up, ignoring everything about being the "weirdo" or the "nerd" "one left behind" so on and so forth. When I found out I wasn't in Seminar because my thing didn't get transferred, I was furious! I was so mad at this school!

So then I met the person who rescued me. I had a friend after all. I was so happy, we did a lot of stuff together, and we always helped eachother since we were in the same classes. I learned at this school that no matter what the negitive things people say about you, always switch that around into positive.
