Guess What! I'm 13 now and almost out of school! (7th grade, I mean...) Yeah, I know... I wish I were all the way out of school too! Only 1/3 a month or less than 3 weeks or 20 days left (including weekends) until summer!
I decided I should write because mom is making me go to bed and I am not tired yet. Besides, by the time I'm able to write in you again, I may forget! You know, the rate I'm going, this may be the only time I write at 13 years old! Sad, huh? I'm already 13 and I've only gotten this far since age 8! It's because of this house and all. No room, no time, no space... I feel trapped! But, as I said before; only 1/3 a month or less than 3 weeks or 20 days left (including weekends) until summer... then we'll pack to move!!! When that happens, I'll write in you all the time!
Not too long ago, I went to a cabin in Timber Lakes with the Young Women. It was fun. We talked about the problems we all had and how we should all be friends. We all wrote problems we had, that kept us from being united, on a piece of paper and handed them to our leader. Mine was something about low self-esteem. She read them each aloud and we talked about them. Of course, mine was last, and she gave a long speech about how good it was and how it was the cause of every woman's problems. That made me feel good. She's a neat gal. It was a very spiritual night then. We all had fun! Well, I've got to sleep sometime I guess! Ta-Ta!
Love you 4ever!
Me!
