Let me just start out by saying...I've never really "blogged" before. So if you're reading this you probably know nothing about me and are a little on the confused side. I'll tell you a little about me before I move on. My name's LeeAnn. I'm 14 years old. I love the color pink and books by Nicholas Sparks. I'm in love with caramel frappuccinos (spelling??) from Starbucks and adore the song Little House by Amanda Seyfried right now. I've been blessed to grow up in a environment that was always supportive and loving. I have the best family in the world. I could never ask for more. :) I also have the greatest best friend a girl could EVER ask for. She's the greatest thing I know. We're like family. :) I'm originally from Syracuse, New York but currently live in Eastern North Carolina (about an hour from Atlantic Beach). My birthday is January 31st (today :)). I have a little sister who is six years younger than me. I plan to become a neonatologist. :) Anyway...I know that was more than a little but you get the idea right??
Moving on...you're probably wondering why I decided to blog today. Well to be honest, I have a story to tell. My best friend is cheering until 7 tonight and my grandparents are visiting for the day so my mom's not really open. I'll try and keep this as short as possible. Let's see...well I guess I can start off by telling you the result and then the details. Basically, while I was at school today, minding my own business and putting stuff away in my locker a group of "kids" on my team stole $45 dollars from my purse. The first question everybody asks is how did it happen, so I will tell you as best I can. I should probably tell you that I bring 3 bags to school with me everyday, my book bag (which is a tote), my purse and my lunchbox. I carry all 3 of them around with me through out the day. When I take locker/bathroom breaks and get ready to switch classes I leave my book bag in my seat and my purse and lunchbox and on top. I guess that was my first mistake. Typically there's a teacher in the room at all times so I usually don't worry about leaving my stuff. I suppose that was mistake number two. There was no teacher in the room today. Anyway, at the end of my last "core" class I went to my locker, leaving my bags on my desk as usual. I got my jacket out, put my binder away and went back to the room. While walking into the room I noticed a group of "kids" from one of the classes across the hall gathered around the door and my general area really. Although they were on my team I didn't know names. I went off to my next class noticing nothing different. When I got there I got called down to the office where the lady at the front desk asked me if i lost something today. I answered all her questions as politely as possible, proved the wallet was mine and went to leave. Walking out the door I opened up my wallet and saw all my cash was gone. I turned around and she told me my last period teacher had brought it up there and I should talk to her. I couldn't find her either. So then I was sent off to Officer C's office. He went through the series of questions I told him exactly what happened and he scribbled all out on his little notepad. He told me it was going to be extremely hard to get it back but he would take to Mr.J (assistant principle) about it and do what he could. So basically he said...sorry kid, I'll look around but there's really no hope. Thanks a million mister. I went back to class checked my purse and realized this group of "kids" stole nothing but my money. They didn't bother to steal my phone or camera. Thank God for that. I guess the point of sharing this story was for me to say that I have lost hope in salvation for the world. People have no respect these days for anyone or anything. They view the world by simply thinking "what can I get out of it?". I had respect for these people and they took and threw it in the garbage. It makes me so sad to know that there is people in this world that don't have what I have and don't know what I know. That people as a whole have lost hope. Someday I hope it comes back for them and they realize what they did was wrong. Without hope there is nothing. So I will not lose hope towards overall redemption of things such as common sense and self-respect. If you don't have respect for yourself, you can't have respect for others. So with that, I will finish on a positive note by saying that today is my birthday and I'm determined to make the best of what I have left. Hopefully everything will go well and things will turn out as they should. My dad will go in tomorrow and raise "heck" and set things straight as he always does. I love that man by the way. I can always count on him.
I hope everyone else is having a little better day than I am. Wish me luck. More blogs to follow and updates on my story.
Upset but Hopeful,
LeeAnn
