Kylee My mom found herself in a sticky situation when she found out she was pregnant at sixteen, not that she felt anything negative towards the pregnancy, it was just an accident. At the age of sixteen, the origin of my name doesn 't surprise me. My name came from the movie "Practical Magic." Kylee was a spunky redhead and I wonder if that 's how my mom thought I would be, or if that 's how she hoped I 'd be. Kylee means graceful and beautiful and I never cease to find the irony in that.

She says she 'll visit at least once a month and I hope she sticks to her word. While she is living her life in a town that is not little old Sebring, I am still her, and I will get a new mentor. I know I got lucky with her the first time, and it is greedy of me to wish to get lucky again. I know I will not dislike my next mentor, but I also know that they will never be Kendra. I thank the school for giving me the scholarship and her friendship. I tell myself I won 't cry when she goes - I won
