Going to public school has many ups and downs but can teach you a few things also. Besides language, science, history, and math, it teaches you life skills. When I started public school I thought it would be the most amazing thing to meet new people. Don’t get me wrong. I did meet new people but it was not what I expected. As I got older and I went up a few grades everything was different. The kids were different, the words they used were “profound”, and their respect for themselves, or lack of, was different too.
In school, you do get the privilege to meet some wonderful people .You can even meet people who share the same beliefs as you do. However, in public school you do not just meet wonderful students, you meet amazing teachers too. One thing I learned from my teachers was that they don’t only teach you subjects; they are here to teach you life skills if you need them.
When I got to middle school it was a definite shock. Everyone had changed. Kids began to curse, they are rude, and they don’t act like they used to. At first it was a little strange but then I got used to it, which is sad, I know. Another thing that bothers me is when kids start "dating" at such a young age. Public school definitely does have its ups and downs. We hope and pray that GOD will help the children that have changed so much since elementary school.

Well,
You already know that I'm not sure about the life skills part, but I agree that you have met good teachers and made a few good Christian friends.
Cece, this is great to read! I look forward to reading more from you and your sisters. You seem to have lots of poise and wisdom for a 13-year-old.
Hello Terry's daughters.
I read your mother's blog often and when I saw that you all had a blog I was thrilled. I have a daughter that will turn 12 next month and thought it would be benefical for her to read posts from someone close to her age and with the same family views. We will be reading the posts together and look forward to reading more from you all.
