      • BEING THE CHANGE:
        • Diary 31: This student writes, “I was always known as the person that was going to be a druggie, or get pregnant before I turned fourteen and dropped out. Now I have the chance to prove them wrong.” What expectations are put on you because of your past actions? How do you feel about this? Explain what you will do to improve those expectations.
      • DEATH:
        • Diary 33: The writer of this diary entry describes being torn between loyalty to her people and telling the truth to save an innocent man. Think of the reasons for making either choice. Which would you have done if you were in this writer’s place? How do you make difficult choices in your life?
      •  
      • DRUGS & VIOLENCE:
        • Diary 34: In this entry, a female student describes how she seemed a “goodie goodie” on the outside, yet was really an alcoholic. She showed the world one persona and kept another to herself. Think about your own life. How is the person you show the world different from the person you keep to yourself? What could keep a person from showing the world who they truly are?
