In the beginning of freshman year, I attended a school that was on the other side of town. I was nervous to start school, simply because I didn’t know anybody that was going there from my previous school. I had the mentality to get good grades, try out for the soccer team, and make new friends. My one focus was to walk across that stage to get that one and only diploma. I met someone named Alexis and we planned to try out for the team together. All of sudden, I heard that her parents took her out of school and was homeschooled. I was devastated because I lost my soccer buddy and didn’t end up trying out. Late December was approaching and my step father’s mother was going to turn 90 years old. We took a trip to California with a ton of work
