  Dear Diary,

  When Aunt Sheila gave you to me, I didn’t realize how important you would become. I’m sorry if that seems mean. I just never expected to be a Diary Person. Ya know? Anyway, I guess we are always changing.

  That brings me to something super secret and private that I have literally not told a single person and I don’t even know if I can write down. It’s not a bad thing at all. It’s just new and kind of surprising. For me. Anyway.

  So here goes. I feel like I finally have a crush. At least based on how my friends describe a crush. But it’s not on a boy. It’s actually on Mara. My neighbor.

  How crazy is that? Not because she’s a girl—because it’s totally fine to like girls if you’re a girl or boys if you’re a boy. Whatever. But crazy because she’s my neighbor and my friend and it kind of happened out of nowhere.

  Like I find myself thinking about her before I go to sleep, and wondering what she’s doing. And her hair is so pretty—it’s like half brown and half blond and it curls up on the bottom. I don’t think she even tries to get it that way. And she’s just so nice and she has the funniest laugh.

  UGH. I do have a crush, right? OMG. I wish you could answer me.

  Love,

  Cecily

  ESSAY CONTEST

  REFLECTIONS ON THE SCHOOL YEAR

  by Cecily Anderson

  Second draft

  It has been an exciting year for me. I’ve enjoyed being sixth-grade rep. I think we’ve grown a great deal in terms of bullying and understanding one another. I think we still have a ways to go, though. Sometimes people are going through something and they don’t feel comfortable sharing it or opening up to friends or teachers or family. Maybe I can Maybe there is a way to be aware of this and be on the lookout for it. So we can all help when we are struggling. I’m not sure how

  GOOD MORNING friendsssssss
