  1. My story is not related to Deena's story because she droped out high school. Deena's started to cut more classes and she hangout with her friends. She started to sell weed with her friends. Some her friends smoke weeds in the parking lot just to stay high. she try to buy meth because is cheaper and she didn't tell to her parents if she is in trouble with the drugs. My story is different than Denna's story because I haven't try any drugs in my life. Denna's finally quit to these drugs which is good for her.

    1. Thanks God my story is not related to Deena but I think it's very interesting what she did she began cutting classes because she starts hanging around with the bad group of girls;consecuently Deena starts having more absences at her classes she didn't know how far that would take her until she ended using drugs and finally cutting school completely. 987923

    2. My story is not related to Deena's story but I can say what she did was really bad specially for her future because once you start doing the wrong things the wrong things are going to come after you.987923

    3. The differences between Deena and I are I don't like to cut classes unless I'm sick and it's how I'm about to graduate I wish I have a magic powers and that way I can make many changes in many of my classmates o God seriously I wish they are going to read this story or Deena's story to see what is going to happen if they start hanging around with the bad girls or bad boys.987923

  2. I believe the strength Deena's have is she knows she did the wrong things and that's why after she went to all process of get herself clean of drugs she starts studying to get her GED and of course after her mistakes she knows now she have to do everything rigth because once you make a mistake you will learned about them unfortunatelly we don't have any manual to follow except our parents but remember sometimes our parents didn't go that far so try not to be influence for bad people in life.987923

  3. Well my story in a way is similar to Deena's story because when i was in my second year at Arlington Mill i dropped off my semester because i was going out too much with my friend at night,i preferred to go and have fun with them than going to school ,we used to go to a lot of parties and drink and smock sometimes .When i realized how important a semester was and that all my friends passed the semester and where ahead of me ,i also realized how important school it was ,so,i decided to go back and not to stop until i finish high school.I still drink ones in a while but i don't smock ,and couple months ago i started to go to the gym so now i just want to stop drinking at all and exercise instead .Thanks God the same as Deena my family has always being there for me to help me in the bad and good moments in my life .Deena knows that being in the drugs is not good and that only carry her problems .Her strength is her family they are the ones who motivate her to keep up and get her GED at least that way she can keep studying in college if she wants and be someone one day .As long as she tries hard and does a big effort to definitely left the drugs and also study hard for her GED ,with the help of her family and God she will accomplish it.987601

  4. I can relate to Deena in the sense of having teachers reaching my parent in reference to a problem of some sort I was battling. In my sense it wasn't being too shy it was for being too social! I can also relate to her with her in her 7th grade situation, I could swear that my English teacher had it out for me in the 6th grade. One major difference is that I haven't dropped out of school. Some other differences would be that I didn't struggle with drugs or drinking and that I never stole from my job.I also stumbled on a group of negative peers after I had started skipping class. She has the strength of being insightful of herself and realizing her errors, honesty. They might help her in the future with being genuine and honest she could find a career in doing something she loves to do and seeing that pursuing her education is still possible and a great opportunity.
