Diary of an Upper School Girl: The Journey

No stranger to people, well-travelled, and eloquent, Mimi assumed that primary schools everywhere would have the same feeling as her previous experience. Mimi later discovered the new meaning of normal was odd and found a new worldliness.

There had to be some drama, a way to be funny, a whole new level of choices to make, and a way to a kind of worldly knowledge. Everyone has to have a background story. Mimi discovered new lessons and found a way to fit in and to make a way for herself to thrive within a new understanding of friendship. She also had to have her own reasons and background.

Mimi must navigate her way from what she knew and was familiar with to what she would discover. Throughout, she must understand boys' and girls' ideals, the new school culture, and the support system for all of it, which was a tricky journey she had no idea was waiting for her, at her new school. She discovered that the transition to new friendships was to be the most impactful learning curve. There were teachers and a child's concept of school and the real world.
