HOPE: Your Stories

I'm a girl...

​I’m a girl
I’m 17 years old and a senior in high school
Everyone always says I’m so nice :D
Some people even say I’m happy :)

Well, let me tell you. 
All through elementary the bullies got the best of me :(
I changed schools

In eighth grade I thought I had a cool group of friends
One day they decided not to talk to me any more
And it never really made sense why.

After that I became unsocial
My freshman year of high school I was practically invisible
I use to let people copy my work, just so I would have people to talk to in class
I had 1 best friend and that’s all

My grades were o.k.
But I was sad all the time
I wanted to DIE
I hated GOING TO SCHOOL

Sophomore year was pretty much the same
They tried to put me in honors English but I dropped out
My grades weren’t as high as they were before
My mom always yelled at me about how I would never get into college

I always felt WORTHLESS

I went on a trip with a group of people my age from all different schools that summer
When I came back it felt easier to make friends
I started volunteering and my youth leader always talked about how good I was at doing things

I realized GRADES DON’T MAKE YOU, YOU DO (That’s confusing!)
Back at school I was the vice president of my choir
It felt like I talked to everyone
I had a good amount of friends
I got my driver’s license! :D

That year went great
This year I got a job
Things were going fine, I was a little stressed about colleges though
4 weeks ago I was coming home from work
A lady crashed into my car and rammed me off the road
I hate that woman so much

It’s hard to admit, but that was one of the scariest moments of my life
Just standing in the middle of the street not sure what to do
I was really tired and angry for awhile
I cried at night

Driving was the only thing I really had confidence in
I had never been afraid to drive
I felt better a few weeks later
My car is in the driveway but if I walk around it too much
And stare at the damage I still get really angry

Hearing the sound of her car hitting mine still makes me sick
The next day after the woman hit me
I got into college!
The school I wanted!

It was a dream come true!
