predict Rachel's future. July, 19 2006 Dear Diary, Wow! That was amazing! I was so nervous, but I did it!! I got my pilot's license. Now I can fly Uncle Erik's plane by myself. He said he was thinking about getting a new one anyway. I can't wait to go to school and tell the girls. Maybe I can take a few of them up with me. I wish Adam was still here. He moved about two weeks ago. He said this was the longest place he's lived in. I wish he could have graduated with us. Rachel Mason
March 17, 2006 Today has been a great day. I moved into a nice two story house bought by saving money from working at McDonalds. I plan to go to college to study for being a teacher. Right now high school has been great. I have loads of friends. Today I went searching through the basement looking through all of my old stuff. There I found the old manatee project that I did at school with one of my fellow classmates, Adam. Adam. I wonder what he is doing right at this very moment. Probably studying to be some kind of scientist, I think. He would be good at that since he knows a lot of things. I also found Uncle Erik's special salsa recipe. I had forgotten all about that. So I decided to take it with me and stick it to my refrigerator, so me and my best friends can enjoy the yummy salsa and nachos while watching creepy movies. That would be great. In my old stuff I also found all of my old Christmas presents I got from my parents. I called my mom and dad today. They said after weeks and weeks of counseling mom and dad have finally stopped their constant arguing and fighting. I was really glad. Dad had stopped drinking. I also got hooked up with my brothers. They say they are living in an apartment now, which is really great. This is all I can really say now so good night diary.
Love, March 16, 2006 Dear Diary,
I still remember the day Mrs. Juarez gave Adam and I compliments on our
presentation about manatees. I told Uncle Erik about my Dad's drinking problem
and guess what, he quit drinking! This was one of the best days of my life, and
it looked like it was my Mom's too. Remember when I thought about being a
teacher? Well it's very exciting having a job and I can't believe it! I have been doing really well in school. I have been cooking dinner for my family with Uncle Erik's recipes that he told me when he came over one day. I still need some more practice but over all I think that I did my best job. I have told Uncle Erik about how dad drank a lot and that he kept hurting my mom. I feel a lot happier that I told him. I have been studying to be a teacher and I hope I keep doing well in high school. (Submitted by Ryan Joslyn) Oct. 10, 2005 Dear Diary, Today I am realizing my dream that Mrs. Juarez predicted for me when she said that I would make a great teacher. As I sit here in my classroom awaiting the arrival of my fifth grade students, my thoughts drift back to the day that I shared my “secret” with Uncle Erik. In his many travels he came across other people who also had “secrets”. He knew of support groups who could help my family cope with Dad’s problem. Now, years later, I only hope that I can encourage other young people to share their “secrets” whatever they may be in order to know that there is help available and dreams can be realized. Gotta go, kids are bounding into my classroom looking for La La Land. (Submitted by Ronald E. Riese) |
