I have rarely been confined in my life. I am happy to say that I am generally around people who want me to spread my proverbial wings, and fly away to wherever I want. This was not the case last year. I must say that since I moved down to Durham, North Carolina, I haven't been in any way the same person that I was before. I was confined. I not only had to bottle up my emotions as a result of having to live with a stepmother who had very different ideals as me. The whole year, I spent my time surrounded by mental walls at home, and social barriers at the schools, where the stress was put mainly on being cool. I started having trouble getting work done, I rarely had friends over, and I walked away with what most would think of as nothing. I know I walked away with new life experience that would change me forever.
Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:
Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)
Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.
