Hey new journal,My old journal ran out of pages, so you're holding the fort now. Let me introduce myself! My name is Amimi Imai, I'm 18, and most of my friends call me "Hanabi". Why? Well, I'm a big fan of fireworks! My mom loved them, and the way she always talked about them made me want to see them for myself. But you know, life happens, and I haven't had the chance to see them in person. Well...not yet at least, but we'll get to that. This year has been a doozy: I had to move to a new city for family reasons, had to leave my friends behind, and we could only communicate through our phones. Major bummer. But I had a new school and new experiences to look forward to! I had big plans to do my best and get into the best university so I could follow my dreams of being a writer. But school can be like life sometimes: hard, cruel, and unwelcoming. I knew if I just put my head down, I would get through it
