My Diary

     Well today didn`t go as I expected. I tried to tell my best friend Rowdy (well I guess my "ex-best friend"),  that I was transferring out of the Indian reservation to Reardan High School. At least I told him. It wasn`t like I just went without telling him. He should at least be supportive of me and I also asked him to come with me! C`mon. So he gets mad at me just because I wanted to transfer and I offered a chance to come with me and spend the whole high school year with me? Hello!? I`m trying to be nice. In addition, I can`t even stand the reservation any more! There not even teaching the things that we are suppose to be learning. I can`t believe Rowdy said, "your betraying the Indian Tribe"! Who cares if Reardan is a all-white high school? Well maybe I do and the rest of the Indians but, I just want a good education. Whatever, I need to think about this some more.

             I`m so nervous! It`s the first day of school at Reardan. I think Im going to be the only "Indian" kid in that school. I just want to be happy and make friends. But, I don`t know whats going to happen. Plus, my dad is driving me to school! Oh Yeah! I`m worried as he is. But hey, you never know whats going to happen. Hmmm, lets see what happens.

             Okay, I just got back from school. WHAT A DAY! There were mostly white kids. I tried to learn what the teachers was teaching but I felt like I was the teacher. Everybody was staring at me! So far I don`t have any friends :( I know I`m going to get friends! I just have to prove I`m not just a "Indian" kid, I`m a regular 14- year old teenager. Don`t worry, I`ll prove them wrong!
