Hello, my name is Aria Tomlins, and I am 14 years old. I live at the Gladney Center for Adoption in New York City. This year I am attending the Satellite Academy for 9th grade. Tomorrow we come back to school from Winter Break. I hear that we will be having new students. I wonder if they'll like me... NO ARIA! NO ONE AT THIS SCHOOL WILL EVER LIKE YOU! You're just the stupid homeless girl. My life sucks. I have to wake up early every day, cook breakfast for me, my seven siblings, and my mean caretaker Ms. Cavanaugh. Then go all around Midtown, dropping my siblings off at their different schools, and then run to school while trying not to get a tardy. If I get another one, I'll get a detention. I can't do that because as soon as school ends, I'm running around picking my siblings up from their schools. At school, I get made fun of a lot. I also have to do homework, clean the orphanage, take care of my siblings, and occasionally perform at a busy street corner to earn some much needed money. I usually play the violin, but occasionally I sing and play drums with a bucket. Ugh, I have to go, if I'm gonna wake up early, I gotta go to bed early. BYE!
