Hey everyone!
As everyone knows, it is back to school time! Tear* tear* Now the summer fun is over and time to get back into the normal routine.
I am now attending San Dimas High. I seriously miss
The first day was the hardest; finding the right classrooms and being the 'new girl' all over again. I have to admit I was filled with mixed emotions and just could not grasp the situation-leaving the school where all my friends are to a school I barely know and on top of that... it is socially awkward. Everyone stares... it is one of the hardest things that I have ever had to deal with to this day... but what else can I do?
Anyways, I am taking four class at school- Government, AP Calculus, AP English, and Spanish 3 (well for the first semester I am a Teacher’s Assistant, the second semester is when I actually take it). Since my Religion classes did not transfer as credits for

*Thank you gain to all my donors and angels who make Project Walk therapy possible.
And with the drive being over an hour and a half each way to Project Walk, I am going to do homework in the car... hope I don't get to dizzy!

I'm really sorry that you had to start at a new High School, with this being your senior year and all. It won't take long for everyone to see what an awesome person you are! You are an inspiration to me. Keep your spirits up and keep going strong on your therapy too.

Hey, Jen! We all miss you here at SL & praying for you! Good luck at San Dimaaaas! (:
ReplyDeleteThat is a tough move to make, sorry about that. When I was a freshman I was temorarily friendless, I had made a decision to leave behind a group of people that were heading in a direction I didnt want to take. And at the time, being alone at breaks or eating lunch by myself was devastating. Why is it that the 'character building' situations never feel good..haha. The situation is different for you but the principal is the same....taking the hard way for a good reason.
ReplyDeleteAs far as ackwardness and people staring, you just look right on back and smile...dont ever look away or keep your head down. My mom taught me from the time I was a little girl that staring or not looking at all at someone who looks 'different' feels just as bad on the receiving end. So do your part to display confidence and welcome people to take that first move to get to know you. See when or if your high school has a weekly Christian lunch group and get hooked up with some good people...or start one yourself if you dont have one.
Girl....if you want to go to prom when that time comes (you still have a awhile), then go. Know that you dont have to spend mounds of time obsessing or tons of money on unnecesaries.....You can always have your buddies Elaine and Annmarie take you out for some great shopping...hehe
Keep an eye out for used adapted controlled cars in the dealer magazines....you can get them for a steal and while you are fighting the good fight to regain control of your leg movements..you can still live and thrive in the now, and nothing feels better than having the freedom of driving a car yourself. I'm just saying...
Anyways this is probably getting long winded...I'm home sick from work and the boys are at grandma's house so I took this rare moment of quiet to catch up with you....My cell number is 909 254 1720 and I'm good at texting people back..hehe
Anyways love you girl
