There are a lot of other ways to be successful than being academic. You are so much more than the grades you get!

Who would guess that the girl who was making every teacher miserable had such talent!

Now I’m back in high school, but on the other side of the desk 

I feel bad for Rivky. She doesn’t have social skills — so she doesn’t have friends

I can’t wait to see Mrs. Taub’s reaction when I get everything right. (At least, I hope!)

Mrs. Taub looked at me. “I think I’ve gotten to know you this year. I think you can do better than this — much better"

She really believed me when I said I wouldn’t talk anymore. Since when do teachers believe you when you say that?

Ruti or Adina ask to play with me almost every day after school, but act like they don’t know me in school

I feel so yucky when I go along with Vori’s shenanigans and it’s super embarrassing when we get caught

“Atara Tratner. I’m surprised at you. I’m sure your mother isn’t going to be happy to hear about this”
