GRADUATION IS HERE and i will be spending it at my house. Now just for you readers im not graduating from 12th grade.....8th grade is were Nandi Howard's at. Well today i was in the car telling my mom about graduation when she stopped and said, "Nandi i cannot make your graduation". I felt really sad but not enough to cry. I was mad.... for some odd reason. I couldn't get it out of my mine. I mean the next "real" graduation is not till 12th grade. My mom kept asking me what's wrong (like she didn't no). She tried to bribe me like saying,"You can have a pool party after your graduation". I really didn't want to hear it. I kind of feel like my mom's putting her trip before my graduation. I also feel selfish because my mom should get out every now and then but, not on my graduation! I realized that if my mom doesn't go i don't want to be there with part of my family. I have not broken the news to my mom about the "graduation decision". I'm pretty sure she'll be upset but, my intention is not to hurt her. I think this is the best choice. If she changes her trip...of course I'll go but, I don't want her to change her trip because of me. It's so complicated i want her to be there but i don't. Why couldn't she book her trip another time? Why did the graduation have to be around this time? Those are questions i just cant seem to comprehend.

Peace is powerful,

Hang in there! Life is full of tough choices for both children and parents. And your mom loves you! See you Monday, Nandi!
