Follow a young girls road as she figures out how to live a new life
IntroDo you ever get that hard to describe feeling; where you're so excited and so scared at the same
time. Like you can't wait for something while at the same time you're dreading it. Each day passing as
the event slowly gets closer and closer, it feels like its happening too fast but can't start soon enough.
Life is spent looking forward to whats coming up, but dreading you might not be ready for it.
Most of those sentences contradict each other, I told you it was hard to explain. If I were to say it's the
feeling you get as the first day of school approaches, the confusion would probably be cleared for most
of you, but I don't think you yet grasp how severe the feeling was for me.
Not only is it my first day of high school as a freshman-which is nerve wracking enough-It was my first
time in public school. I was home-schooled for most of my life, excluding going to a private school for
fifth grade. As the date neared the first day thoughts rushed through my mind. What if I wasn't taught
something I need to know? What if everyone already has friends and I become that awkward loner kid?
What if the teachers hate me? What if I fail miserably? I tried to ignore these thoughts the best I could,
there was no way I was backing out of this now. Besides, I hated homeschooling.
I guess to some kids who have spent their whole life in public school, homeschool would seem like an
amazing experience. No bullies, no angry teachers(usually), sleeping in, not having to wear pants, but to
tell you the truth its not, the education might sometimes be better but the experience is more stressful.
And lonely, you can't forget how lonely it is to spend most of your life, not really knowing anyone besides
family members. Thankfully I played softball, still do, so I got to meet other people; if I hadn't I probably
would of gone insane.
Critic all you'd like, but be fair. Warning you now I probably wont update much
