Dear Diary,
As I am about to embark on this terrifying journey, I want to say that writing in a diary in high school is not weird. Lots of people do it, right? Oh who knows. I really want these kids to like me. It's going to be so weird starting new, especially my senior year! I can't be upset though, because I know it isn't dad's fault. He tried everything in his power to keep us from losing everything after papa died, but we couldn't afford living where we used to anymore and we couldn't afford my school anymore. Boarding school is too expensive, especially for the shit education you receive. Hopefully things will be better here. Please pray for me. Well at least try, just because you're a diary doesn't mean you can't do good. Anyway, tomorrow is my first day of school so I'd better get to sleep I suppose. I'll be okay. I can do this. I can make it through this. I am a grown woman and I can manage. I lost one dad, I still have one, I have him and my dog to support me. We'll be okay, right?
Forever yours,
Claire
