Chapter 6

" Like I said earlier this morning I would like to welcome all of our new freshmen to St. Helen's this year. We are so grateful that you and your families pick this school for the next four years." Picked? I didn't choose to go here. I had to come here because of the scholarship. Do you think I wanted to be separated from Paige and Elizabeth? And religion too, why is that a subject? Don't all you have to know is Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit? I don't really know. My family isn't religious nor worship anyone or anything in that matter. We just go with the flow. Another subject that I'm going to fail, great.

" St. Helen's is a Catholic school based on faith, integrity, and leadership, which are traits we commit to teaching our students each and every day. St. Helen is our role model for this school because she is the patron saint of new discoveries, and at St. Helen's you have the ability to do so. With our 30 clubs and extracurriculars, 15 sports, and 30 Advanced Placement courses, so you have endless choices! I would now like to say each person I call to come up and stand, said Mr. Miller. Here it goes again, I have to get up and be in front of hundreds of people. I hope he doesn't say my name like, "Next is Amory Pierre, this year's art scholar!" It's getting annoying now. I don't want to be known as "art girl", I want to have a different title. Maybe talk about how caring of a friend I am, but Mr. Miller wouldn't know that. I waited until it was my turn, and boy I wasn't expecting this.
