A new way of life
Submitted by: Nicole F.J.
NorwayI'm 15, and more confident.
Ever since I was 6 years old and started in first grade, I was mocked. All the other students made fun of me and made my school days miserable. My so called “friends” only hung out with me because I was there and their friends weren’t. A lot of fellow students terrorized me, and I ended up going around the school yard all alone. It went on for seven years, all the way through primary school.
I became accustomed to going through life alone. Although occasionally someone would be my friends and come home with me, but I found out that they only did it because I gave them sweets and let them play on my trampoline.
In high school things started to change. I had my own pony (which I got by using the Secret – I was unaware of it, of course), and I enjoyed company of real friends, some of which had horses at the same stable as I had.
Although my childhood was really unhappy and miserable, I`m in ninth grade now, and I’m starting to feel a change in my life. I feel happy almost all the time, the boy I like is noticing me a bit more (of course he is, I picture him and me together all the time). I wish for top grades in every subject, and I feel I know a lot more, even though I used to forget everything by only reading through my homework twice! Now, I suddenly remember everything, every little bit of it! I’m going to get top grades all the time, I can feel it! And I’m having a feeling the boy I like will soon show up on my doorstep.
