Ive started this post about 6 times. Not sure what to say. Not sure if I should say. How to say. I could tell the story in vivid detail, of course. But, like like many in here I assume, I never do. I avoid even accepting or acknowledging it sometimes. Sure it happened. Sure it could have been different. Recalling is different than understanding, accepting, and simply being ok with it..whatever it is. Here, I will summarize my story. As embarrassing as it may be for me.

The title says it all. When I was a kid, my church would make us do a door-to-door canvass like this once a month. People would slam the door in my face and I found it very confronting and felt rejected.

I’m coming from another Adventist school, and my parents are forcing me to start 9th grade at Pleasant Hill. If anyone is from here, please share your experience at this school
