"For the love of god Gail what are you doing?"
"I am doing morning yoga!"
God why!! "What provoked you to do this!"
"I came to the realization that my body could be young again if I really tried hard enough!"
"But good god, can you do it in a more private area like you bedroom instead of the kitchen?"
Well this was a normal morning for me. I wake up in the morning to find my foster mother, Gail, doing something completely ridiculous! By the way my name is Scarlett. I live in Brattleboro Vermont. I am 15 years old! I am in my last couple days of my freshman year of high school. Thank god it is almost over. I guess I should give you a little of my life so you can understand why it's so crazy now.
Well first of all at the moment I am in foster care. Yes before you stop reading cause your thinking this is gonna be some sob story about a troubled girl think again. I am just like everyone else, yes the reason for me being in foster care may not be normal to you but it is to me!
Okay enough of that! I was given to the state when I was 12 years old by my own mother. She was mentally unstable and I knew it. I didn't mind being in foster care at first but then I started getting bounced around from family to family. I was in 9 foster homes in one year. Crazy right? You would think all these foster families would know that the kids they take in have been most likely given up on by their own parents. So in that case you don't give up on them again! But no one really cares about foster kids.
I am writing this because I am moving in with family. I'm scared out of my wits to move. But I'm not complaining if it means I get out of this wretched child services, I'll take it. There's a downside to them adopting me though. I have to move over 300 miles away from my home town, from my grandparents and from my friends...
I am moving to Pennsylvania. I'm not too thrilled about it at all. New school, new parents, new life, and worst of all new friends. That's the thing that scares me the most. I have never been the new student in a school before. I know how people from my school talk about new people and I am scared that people won't like me or will think I am weird...
