Dear diary,
Today is my birthday and I received this diary from my one and only friend, Beth. She cares for me like nobody has before. When I'm around her, I feel like I actually belong. It's a whole new life.
Here's just a bit about me. I am 12 and I've just started high school. My parents died when I was 6 and I was in an orphanage for 3 years. When I was 9, a family adopted me. They were nice at first, but they soon forgot about me like everyone else. The only things I have that remind me of my real mother and father is my mother's locket and my father's war medals, as well as an old photo from their wedding day. And finally there is Beth. She is vietnamese and she is the most beautiful person I've ever met. She is in a situation similar to mine. Her parents were poor and unable to protect her from the devastating life of little food and dirty rags as clothes. She is my age and also has a rude foster family.
She always tells me that I should never lose hope, even though she should take her own advice. When we met we made a promise, 'That we would always have each others backs and neither of us would ever give up'.
This has been the moral of our friendship the past three years.
Good Bye
Isla
