When I started High School it was hard but I did go to every class. Then when I met other girls I was not doing well because I was following them and not going to class, but I did go to some classes. My family had some really sad things happen as well.

By the end of the Term 3, I was doing better and not following the other girls. I now get on with my work and don't fight with other girls. My Sister Myisha and my Cousin Sammy Jo tried their hardest to get me to class but they were a bit too rough. Still I should have listened to them.

Even though I didn't go to all my classes, my school let me play touch football and netball at night, and do the cultural dancing. They never stopped me from doing the things I really like. This helped me a lot.

My sister Myisha has attended Southside for three years and is now studying a certificate in Youth Work at the school. This will be a great opportunity for Myisha and our family. She has a little boy called Jayden who goes to the school crèche.

If I ever have to go to another school I know I will be always welcome back here at this good school where we get help from good teachers. It's just that when I was growled at by my family, at school, l I didn't like it.

This year I am going to try hard because all the teachers here say I will then do very well.
