Diary of Latoya Hunter (12 page)

Dear Janice
,

I
t’s my last day of so much. It’s my last day living here on Bainbridge Ave., it’s my last day at J.H.S.80, my last day writing to you. In this entry I want to look ahead. I wonder what grade 9 holds for me. I want to look and see how my highschool career will go. I want to settle down and listen to my teachers no matter how hard it is. I’ll try to be more open to people and become more of a friend to more people. I’ll try not to fall so deep for a guy because I don’t want another heartbreak. I’m going to cool it for a while with these thoughts of boys. That is,
if
I can stop. I hope my mother won’t be so weird when it comes to them though.
The less cautious she is of those things, the less I’ll care about them.

All in all, I look for understanding in my future. I just want people to understand me! That would set the pace for the rest of life. With understanding I think I’ll achieve anything I want. I just want understanding! Well Janice, this is it. It was fun while it lasted.
