If one was to ask me what this school meant to me the first couple of months I was here, I would have simply told you nothing. If one was to ask me now, I would say that this school has helped me out quite a bit in my time here. It has helped me learn to appreciate my family. When I was at home I never pondered the idea that one day my family might not be with me all the time, and I took them for granted. My first many months here, I used my letters I wrote on Sunday as a way to try to make my family at home feel bad for sending me here, whether it was by going on a fake quilt trip or just being verbally abusive. Whether or not writing this was hurting my family was of no concern to me. Going home was my biggest and only concern. Eventually I decided to make a change. I wanted a relationship with my family at home, and missed them very much. I took a look at the behaviors that caused me to bring myself down, and worked to change them. I have an awesome relationship with my mother now, and have been consistently working on improving it even more. This school to me is a chance for a better relationship with my family, a second chance, and a glimpse at where my life was going.
