Set up

As everything in my life, I'm going to do this in a different and creative way than most of our classmates are doing this blog. So For my group and Dr. August, I hope you enjoy!

Dear Diary,

Hi! My name is Christeen Hum Estrada and I'm in the sixth grade. I spent most of my childhood in the East Providence public school system. It's very American Family next door type of city. Every one knows everyone and everything. But my mom lost her job and we have to move. I've decided to keep a diary about my new life in Providence, Rhode Island. My sister says it won't be much different but I just think she's saying that because she knows I'm scared about making new friends. My sister and I are always different from other people. We're seen as a lot of different things. We are Asian American, Latino American, Italian American and Native America. That's a lot of hyphenations. It's hard to fit in sometimes. Especially at my old school. But I made friends......then. But now.....I'll have to start all over. Wish me luck!!

To my new life,
Christeen

Just as this entry was designed, all of the real me will be italicized. Please keep in mind that I put myself into my own shoes. I moved from Texas to Rhode Island in the seventh grade. Get to know my character. Don't think of adult me. Think of twelve year old me. Thanks and Enjoy!
