Cathy has taught me how to stand up for myself and about boundaries. She has taught me about appropriate behaviours. Emma is a woman who has taught me to learn from my mistakes and how to correct things. Rebecca is a role model to me and she teaches me how to control my circle. She teaches me how to speak out about myself.

Martin is my brother. He helps me to make friends. I wish he spent more time with me. I miss him and I get frustrated. Julie is my tutor. She helps me with my reading skills and writing skills.

On July 10, 2002 it is my birthday. I want the Backstreet Boyz and S Club 7 to come to my party and sing “Happy Birthday” and other songs. I want to order pizza, Coke and other drinks. I want to swim in a pool. I want to dance and sing.

Being part of Frontier College makes me happy because I have lots of friends who like me. I can say my feelings and people help me out.

Listening to my dad talk about my mom makes me feel sad because talking about death is painful in my stomach.
