New Place New Friends

New Beginnings- Chapter 3

Diary Format from Molly's perspective

November 1st 1941

Dear Diary,

We've been in the new apartment in Queens for about a month. It was quite the change of pace moving from the huge mansion with the endless hallways and big marble staircases to our modest apartment. It has four bed rooms. One for me and Annie, one for Mom and Dad one for my brother and sister and one for my Grandma Helen. It was hard saying goodbye to all my friends at PS 118 at the end of the school year last year but I am so happy to be at Eleanor Roosevelt High School. I have always wanted to go to school with Isabella and my wish finally came true. In the past couple months I have grown really close to her friends Betty, Sherry and Eileen. My best friend from PS 118 Ashley comes to visit me every other weekend. Isabella and I are pretty much inseparable! We do everything together. The two of us are on the same field hockey team with Eileen and Sherry and it's so much fun. I wasn't really to involved in sports or any clubs last year at PS 118. I tried to get involved in things but I couldn't find very many things I liked to do. This move was such a good thing for me. I think that spending more time with Isabella and her friends will really bring me out of my shell. I am so done with being shy! I've been that way pretty much my whole life and I have to admit it does get pretty isolating. I am so excited that Aunt Jen, Kathryn and Jacob will be moving to Boston in a few weeks, PERFFECT TIMING! Right before my birthday. We are going down to Boston to spend time with them and Uncle Alex, Aunt Melissa and Christopher and go out to dinner for my birthday. I am so glad that our family is closer together.

Well time to go do math homework (yuck, that's always been my least favorite subject because of my dyslexia I always get the numbers messed up)

Love

Molly
