What My Middle School Diaries Will Teach You About Me
What my journals will teach my grandkids about me:
If you're like me, you grew up in a family and church that stressed writing in journals. I was often told to write down "even one sentence a day" so future generations can know something about me.
Well after several years of being taught to journal and keep track of my life, what do I have to show for it? About 10 journals with just one entry each.
I was a horrible journal keeper. I never knew what to write down. For instance, how beneficial can my crushes in middle school be? And yet, that was really all I thought about in middle school.
If my grandkids were to only know things about me that were written in my journals, this is what they would know about me.
- Joshua Jenkins (not his real name) is going to be my husband!
- My crush did drugs every day during lunch but I believed I could change him.
- My parents don’t understand what I’m going through.
- If I put my locker combination to a song, it’s easier to memorize. (37-7-17)
- If during French class I only think of Joshua, I will fail French.
- I failed French
- Horrible acne is not a reasonable reason to be excused from school.
- Joshua has a really cool truck.
- “Bonnie Jenkins” written 100 times in cursive does not actually change your real name.
- Pajama pants are a comfortable option when nothing else fits.
Seriously, that's all my grandkids will know about me.
New year’s resolution: Try writing about someone other than Joshua Jenkins.
