Happy New Year

1/12/12

This is my first blog of the new year!  My hopes for this year are to get my braces off, get my driver’s permit, and to have an awesome 15^th birthday.  In Brazil, the 15^th birthday party is a big deal because girls are introduced to society as women!  I want to wear a long pink, purple, or teal “prom” dress, maybe down to my ankles!  I also want to wear makeup and high heels.  Families that live in Brazil, friends that live in Brazil, and most of all, my family that lives here will be invited.  There will be music and dancing, mostly samba.  My mom taught me how to samba. 

For school, in the new year, I hope to get good scores on my state tests so I can be in honors classes in high school.  I also want to try out for the dance team at my high school.  I’m excited for high school so I can maybe get some of the same classes as old friends of mine.   I am a little nervous to start high school…what if I have mean people in my classes that treat me badly?  Will my teachers care and help me?  Or, because it’s high school, maybe they won’t care.  This is something I’m nervous about.  Also, what if I don’t know where my classrooms are?  The high school is so big with many different buildings.  I don’t know how I’m supposed to find everything. 

I hope, this year, to get a real working website for my business.  I want to design more clothes and actually sell some on my website.  I'm excited to finally have my blog up for everyone to see...I hope you enjoy reading it.
