Yesterday was my entering 9th grade oreintation... I was sooo nervous. I wore a lacey cute off white blouse and a tan plaid skirt with a big black&white polka dot hair bow. When the day first started I was sorta late. There was a tunnel of upper classmen/link leaders screaming and waiting. I had to go through the tunnel of students. I was so scared that I walked through a little but ran back to my ma at the gym door. My mom told me not to be afraid. I walked slowly scared and my dad was at the end of the tunnel because he's the school principal. "Hey sweetie you look beautiful!" he told me. I told him how nervous I was and he assured me not to be afraid and that the upperclassmen were there to make us feel comfortable. I sat on the bleachers with about 250+ other freshman. I felt alone because I didnt know anyone. It took me a lot to hold back tears. I think I'm having a lot of social anxiety because I haven't been around a lot of people my age this summer. We did a lot of activities. Then we went into groups into a classroom. There were other freshman and two upperclassmen "link" leaders. We did activities w/ them. They also gave us props to wear on our tour. Our group was the pirates so we had eyepatches. I wore mine around my neck bc I didnt want to look silly. When it was over I went to my dad's office and we ate Wendey's for lunch. I really hope on the first day of school I won't be so scared like I was yesterday... Well wish me luck for Tuesday~
