A letter from May 15th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Seventh grade officially ends next week but really it ended in March, March 13th to be exact but I missed school that day so it was March 12th for me. I got to see Titus for the first time in TWO MONTHS yesterday it was amazing, I missed him so much we haven't gone more than two weeks without seeing each other since Oklahoma. Right now Noah, J.j. and Titus are my best friends, Peyton's drifting away it hurts but I expected this it always happens after I move. Right now I have a crush on Landon Sheil (STILL) and I haven't seen him since March 11th because he missed March 12th, He always new how to make my day brighter whether it was cracking jokes, poking me, writing on my arm with sharpie, Drawing/writing on my stuff like my calculator and my notebooks with sharpie, or teasing me about the stuff I like. I remember when I helped him carry his stuff while he had crutches from his sixth hour, to our seventh hour, to our homeroom, then to the gym for competitions, then back to our homeroom ten minutes before the bell then helping with his locker (yeah I missed the bus but whatever). Imma miss that boy even if he annoys me I might see him over summer since Dallas is his best friend and he lives up the street. In two months it will be a year since Cameron Boyce died I cam't believe he out of all people died, I watch descendants (all three of them) and Jessie so much it makes my dad mad. I wonder If I'll have a boyfriend or girlfriend when I graduate (Yeah I'm bi-******) if so hey lucky me. Got in a fight with Noah the night mom was hospitalized, we were both to mad to speak to each other until Monday, and honestly I'm glad that we are friends again I thought I had lost one of my closest friends it made me have extremely bad days and nights. My math grade is a "B" again which is good it keeps going from b to c over and over and over never below that though which is amazing I thank Mr. Cardwell for that he truly is amazing. Speaking of teachers I had some pretty awesome ones this year that I wanna thank but I can't right now so I'll do it in this letter and thank them next year. Mrs. Bahr/Mr. Cardwell Thank you so much for teaching me stuff I never would have imagined learning this year, Thank you Mrs. Solsberg for showing me many great books and giving me AMAZING tips so make my stories better and more enjoyable, if your still at Brittany Hill next year I might email you one of drop one off to you so you can see what you helped me achieve, Mrs. Andreasen thank you for showing me it's ok not to be afraid of speaking in front of a crowd and that being funny is a good thing, also thank you for understanding me and J.j. on mornings where we were in a bad mood because we stayed up too late with each other studying for a test or when we missed a lot of school and couldn't complete an assignment on time, Thank you Mrs.Lane for sitting me where you did where the kids in that academic skills class wouldn't bother me and tease me for my height and where Alex (Tuttle) cared how my day was he would always make sure to ask even if he got sent out for talking you never seemed to catch my response for some reason, Thank you Mrs. Bahr again for understanding when my health got in the way of projects or when I would have to leave in the middle of class due to my diabetes, thank you for understanding I miss a lot of school and so does J.J. meaning our "internship" took almost a much longer than others, Thank you Mr.Stevenson for being so careful and caring when it came to me if I needed to go to the nurse it took at least five minutes to get out of your class room cause you always showered me with the same questions every single time. You always favored the girls in our hour "7B" because we had more control but to honest I favored the boys, the girls in that hour loved to judge me and hate on me but the boys treated me as a friend. Thank you also for checking up on me in the library that one day when you saw me I was writing my "ode" for ELA which had to be us saying goodbye to something I chose to say goodbye rightfully to my great-Grandfather who passed away two years ago due to cancer. I don't know if you saw tears in my eyes, a hurt expression on my face, or if I seemed off but you stopped while rushing to teach a 25 minute class (mixer schedule) to make sure I was ok. Everyone always said that you were the mean scary teacher but I believe you just needed to have the right students in your class that had patience and respect for you my hour didn't have many kids like that but you had me and Eli Burtz and one other I forgot his name. My hour tested you in many ways but in the end o the day we still loved you, I know I did. A lot of us Had Mrs.Stevenson last year in sixth and she told us you would be pretty up-tight but honestly you were soft with us, Thank you Mrs. Neuweg for understanding that I couldn't really do anything in P.E. because of my surgery last year doctors were still really strict this year but I think I'll get to see you more next year, Thank you Mr. Hollowell for understanding that because I missed a lot of school I wouldn't always be on the same chapter of notes so my notebook of notes would be missing sections, or pages, or even chapters of notes trying to catch up. Thank you for talking to me when I didn't understand the GMO debate fully even though I was in debate class at the time. Also thank you for having humor fifth hour yeah it was a boring class but your humor made it better like on my assignment the other day I couldn't fond the answer for the life of me so instead of finding the answer I put "I can't find the answer for the life of me so I'll take a few missing points" you took off one point and just laughed it off, Thank you Mr.Haynes for having patience with me, we both had to adjust to each other you having to deal with me having the health problems so I would have a lot of make-up work and need to leave the class a lot, and me adjusting to a new teacher who didn't know my routine and didn't really know of my health problems or that I shut down when I don't understand my work. Thank you for having patience with me when I got frustrated and shut down not wanting to work and instead helping me calm down and understand so I could pass ELA,Thank you Mr. Cardwell for everything you have done from taking time that you could have spent at home to help me understand and raise my grade, to having patience with me when I got back from having my tonsils removed and had to remember everything I had learned prior to winter break, Thank you for taking what Ethan had said to upset Brian and Into consideration and switching him and Tristan, thank you for understanding that math truly is my weakest subject and I needed a lot of help. Thank you for understanding that I was shy and closed off at the beginning of 7th grade and that it would take me a while to be comfortable. Thank you for sitting me at that table with Landon Sheil and Jack those two boys really helped me open up and talk to people more, they also knew how to turn any of my bad days into an amazing one, yeah they knew how to get on my nerves but I got on theirs in return. Now that that's over I'm going to miss these teachers more than I thought it makes me sad knowing after next year I'll be leaving Brittany Hill and entering High school it's scary as well but more of sad. I wonder if when I get this if I'll still be in Blue Springs? Will I still be friends with Noah, Landon, and J.j.? Will my health end up defeating me before I graduate? What other people that I love will I have lost?-7th grade 13 year old KyLeigh
