Journal-Gratitude & Blessings
November 1, 1980 Dear Journal, Sixth grade is okay. Not great. I do not like Mrs. Morris. I do not think she likes me either and she says I get too chatty. That’s not very fair. I get all A’s on my projects and work, and I don’t think she likes smart kids very much. I love Mr. Bishop and of course Miss Kessler and Mr. O’Donnell. He is such a funny guy. He calls me the Jawbone Canyon Kid. I love that! I wore Sassoon jeans and heels on the first day of school. My hair was styled feathered. I don’t know if I miss summer, or not. Sort…

Journal-About Easter
Belated Easter Greetings, World! I Love Easter! April 12, 1980 Dear Journal, I have been very, very busy, and I guess writing in you has become less important lately. Hopefully that doesn’t make me a selfish person. I have just been busy! However, I am still 12 and on August 3rd, I will be 12 and a half! Today is my daddy’s birthday. He is so handsome. I love his black hair and blue eyes. He also has tan skin from always being outside. I love that he is a fast runner and that he wants me to keep running in track. My mom made him a carrot cake. Yuck!…

Journal-A 12 Year Old’s Valentine Debacle
March 1, 1980 Dear Journal, I hope that this year I will meet someone famous. I have seen some famous people, but I didn’t meet one. I also hope that I can set a school record for something. I don’t know what yet. I will keep thinking about it. I think I would like to be on TV someday. When I am in a play I am not afraid and shy. I think maybe I would be like that on TV. Famous people get to go to cool places. I want to go to cool places too. So I didn’t tell you this last month. I forgot about writing about…

Journal-February 24, 1980
February 24, 1980 Dear Journal, If I had a Fairy Godmother, I would ask her for three wishes. I would wish that all the world was clean of trash, filth, bad thoughts and actions. I would wish for enough money to be happy, not spoiled. I would wish for Ben D. to love me and ask me to be his girlfriend. If I got one more wish I would wish for my mom to get a housekeeper who also cooks. I would like to make everyone be peaceful if I could do that. I would also really like to go with Ben D. Oh ya, and be prettier, and…

Journal- February 16, 1980
February 16, 1980 Dear Journal, I have been super busy so I did not write every day last week. My days can be very busy. Monday through Friday I go to school all day. I have a very long bus ride. I catch the bus around 6:30 am, and school starts around 8 something. Even though I do not like to ride the bus so long, I do like to talk with my friends and read books on the bus on the way to school. Mostly I talk with Tina K., Julie B., Carmen and Elena. Sometimes I talk to Reuben or the Davids, but they are tired when they…
