5.Dear Sibrina

I was sitting in a circle. I was writing Sabrina a letter to tell her that i would not be able to see her again. It was so hard for me to write this. I felt so sad. When i was ready to hand in my letter, Joe had a quick look. By the look on his face, I knew he was satisfied as a good step that I was making. I though that he must be thinking that I was making progress at the time. To maybe think that I actually feel bad for what I did. I thought maybe i keep feeling sad, keep pretending to regret my decisions, Joe might be a bit easier on me. I guess you could call it ' Joe's bright side. I began to act different to the way I would usually act. I thought that if I did this i could get out of here easily. I just had to pretend that I regret my decisions in the past. My father told me that he sent me here because he loves me. I also had to prove it to him that I was sorry. I was basically here because I needed support. To help me overcome what I did. From this day on, I began to act different around Joe and the other school staff members but I still did want to get out of this.
