THE TRUTH: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything!

Hey Dr.Holstien
Wow schools almost here i cant belive summer has gone so fast theres been drama with the girls half the girls in the pic hate me and you know wat it kinda hurts its hard to write about this stuff cuz i have no idea wat will happen when school starts i need a little help on how i should handle this. i love how the world connects by cell phones sometimes i wish they didnt excist but its summer time, its time to loosen up not dread sept 9 though im really nervous
i have to reflect on whats going to propel me though the year and how im going to react to certain situations. Hope your summer is going great

Dear Ally, I hope the year got off to a good start. First days are always difficult. We anticipate lots of things, both good and bad, and it takes awhile to even out. Thanks for writing again.
