Dear Alice

Hi my great great friend. I know we haven't been able to talk that much this last month and 2 weeks and although you may think it is because we don't have any time at all, which is almost true, I also had to reencounter myself.

I have to tell you this summer I didn't remember who I really am. I came back and all my head gave twists and turns trying to find myself everywhere and anywhere. I was not sure about my feelings towards some people, and I was not sure who my friends really where and who they wanted. I felt like if I was again the simple 9th grader that came to this school ready to know what the world is really about.

Besides that, having APs all of a sudden has made my head give twists and turn and has made me feel like im useless and hopeless. Don't feel bad please, because it was thanks to you and Elizabeth and Melanie and even Tom and other friends that helped me over come this rough start that had me giving twists and turn all over, and it was thanks to all of them and you that I know that this year is my year.

Love you and thank you for helping me find myself again

Melanie
