The Beat of Her Own Drum

Introduction

I’m writing as Astrid Baker. I’m a sophomore, and this is the story of my life the year I went from going to private school my whole life, to public school. These are real life experiences, written as I remember them, with my own thoughts. All names and places have been changed to protect the people this story is based off of. If you’re worried a character is too similar to you and makes you look bad, maybe you should think about how you treated the author.
