Qualities you like in adults – January 29, 1992 There are certain qualities that I admire in an adult. To me, a person should be able to listen with an open mind when someone has a problem. I like someone that will listen to what I have to say first and then make a judgment. I…

Who was your influence? – January 28, 1992 The person that was probably the biggest influence is my mom. When I was young, I thought my mom was the greatest person in the world. I practically worshipped the ground she walked on. She was my best friend and she was always telling me how good I was and how smart I…

January 27, 1992 My weekend wasn’t very exciting. Saturday, I was at home until about 8:30, and Bon-E came to get me and I stayed the night at her house. We watched movies and talked. We got up at about 8:00 Saturday because she had to work. I went back to bed for a while and Andy called…

January 23, 1992 Now, I have a different idea of what a hero is. I don’t look at superficial qualities, but at real life traits. The person I look up to most is my best friend Bonnie. She is a very strong-willed person. She has helped me through a lot of rough times in my life.…

January 23, 1992 When I was young, most of my heroes were men. I think it was just because I was so busy looking at how good they looked. Some of the people I like were Patrick Duffy, when he played "the Man From Atlantis", Lee Majors when he was "the 6 Million Dollar Man" and Christopher Reeve as "Superman".…

Some of the few simple pleasures in my life, huh? Well, I enjoy listening to music, as well as playing my guitar. That is my favorite thing to do when I’m alone. I just can’t stand the quiet most of the time. I also like watching movies. I have a tendency to watch a movie over and over, if…

January 21, 1992 My weekend wasn’t really what you’d call exciting, but it was okay. I spent the night at Bon-E’s, who is my best friend. Emily and Willie came over Sunday night, which wasn’t really a big deal. I need a job!!  All my friends have jobs, so I’m always bored. I have no idea what…

Wednesday, Jan. 8, 1992 Well, this is our last entry. I’m a little depressed about not having this class anymore. You and Mrs. Johnston are my favorite teachers and I’m not gonna have either one of y’all next semester. Boo Hoo!  Take care!

Well, I wasn’t at school on this day, but I spent all day talking to police from the Sherriff’s department trying to find a way to get out of my mom’s house w/outher being able to have me hauled off to jail. I went to Youth Service Bureau to see a counselor. The lady I talked to…

I don’t really have any New Year’s Resolutions. I hadn’t really given it much thought. I guess one would be to have a better attendance record this semester and to graduate. Sounds good to me. Christmas was not so good. I had an argument with my dad, so I didn’t end up going to Mississippi. He’s mad because I sorta hate…
