Since it can now be publically announced, I can proudly say that in exactly one week, I will start attending the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. It was bound to happen sooner or later. I know that I need to go to an institution where I can further pursue my passion for singing. Today, wasn't such a great day just because it was filled with me telling people and teachers my situation. It was a shock to some, but even though I didn't have their support I still support my decision of going somewhere where I have the chance to be happy. I haven't felt that for a week straight in a really long time. I wonder what it feels like? I don't know, I'm not sure. But now, I would like to take the time to say a few things:
Calling ALL USYers--I don't think I could've gotten this far in life without you guys. It's been really tough and all of you have been there every step of the way supporting my decision of going to LACHSA. Yes, I'm scared, and yes, it'll be a rocky start. But I just need to be reassured that I will make friends, and won't come home everyday crying and suicidal. It starts a week from today. And I don't know how I'm going to deal with starting a new school sunday night, and I don't know how I'm going to deal with teachers and peers making me feel guilty for leaving. So I ask all of you to pleez do me the favor of telling me that I will have a good time at public school, and that I have something to offer. Right now, I'm still doubting myself about those things...and I'm not sure what to do about it.
Hopefully everything will turn out just fine. And for those of you who are having a hard time at school now, I strongly advise you to switch if you are in the 9th or 10th grade. People say that high school is supposed to be the best years of your life, but for some of you, it's just been one disaster after another. So take action while you still can.
