I
like to be my own person. I don't take
very well to people telling me what to do,
as my mother well
knows. Because I'm not shy, I say what I think, without worrying
that people won't
like me for it. I wear what I want to school; even if the fashion
is expensive Frye
boots, I wear my sneakers. While everyone has her hair cut
short and blown
dry or made into a
permanent, I still
wear mine
long and loose and
very wavy.
I have
always gotten along well with people older than myself:
my guitar teacher,
my parents' friends, the kids my sister left behind
at Southside when
she graduated a year early. This year I miss the older
kids, but the seniors
are still older than I am because I was skipped when
I was in the fourth
grade at Hewitt School. At the time, my parents were wary
of allowing me to
jump to the fifth grade after the Christmas vacation although Dr. Long
and my teacher recommended it. However, I am feeling very old and
mature and I am looking forward excitedly to going to college.
