Dear Diary,
Today is my first year of high school and as a freshman, I decide to go to Southwest High School because some of my 1st cousins use to go there like Levi, Shay, Chastity, Tramaine and Jamel!! That's my father and Auntie Didi old high school since we moved out of Westgate Arms apartments and live on Tattnall Place Apartment two months ago and I'm a freshman at Southwest!!!! I need to take my braids out by next week so I can go to school without any more braids, so I did, I had the cornrows braids since June 29, and I don't want no more braids until Thanksgiving and my Sweet 16th birthday!!! Since last years, it's the first time that I go to school without any more braids until Thanksgiving Break and Christmas Break!!! My mother brought me some denim jean skirts, camouflage skirt and leggings because I'm back wearing regular clothes, I can wear regular clothes to high school then I decide to wear denim jean skirts and skirts to school for the 1st time since elementary and middle school year, put legging on it then put on my jean skirts!!! First time wearing skirts and dresses to high school!!!
My 1st Year of High School was the worst, there's some fighting, food fights, lost my voice singing soprano during chorus class so I was in the alto section singing alto and went to tutors after school to get my grades up!!
March 21, 2007
I made some new friends from 11th to 12th grade students on my 1st day of high school but one of the students just passed away after I was suspended for 6 days for fighting!!!! Her name is Whitney Kemp, she's a senior this year at Southwest and the principal at Southwest decide to have a memorial service for her tomorrow at 2 at the gym and he want everyone to wear black and white, all black or all white in the memory of Whitney Kemp!!!
March 22, 2007
I'm wearing my black and white shirt and black carpi pants in honor of Whitney Kemp!! Some of the students are wearing all black or black and white because the memorial service is today but decide not to go because I was scare so Jimmy, myself and that other student was with my speech teacher then after the memorial service, all the students left the gym, some of them were crying and it' was time go home but I made good process with my grades, 4 new classes that I take and I got A's and B's then I start crying and the girl in the 11th grade, her name is Destinee and she console and comfort me and says to me don't cry and the other girl gave me some tissue!!
Then a month later, I just found out that my Great Aunt Sallie passed away, my mom told me, and I couldn't believe it, she was my Great Aunt, my Sunday School teacher from Mount Nebo and my daddy's and Aunt Didi' Aunt and my grandma' sister!!
