Last week my mom ordered new needles for my medication. They're purple, they're short, and they hurt.
My mom told the lady on the phone when she ordered my medication to make sure that the needles she sent were very small so they wouldn't hurt me as much as the ones I had. I thought that was very sweet of her, but it turned out that these needles hurt more than the bigger ones!
Next week my mom will be ordering more medication for me with a new box of needles. She promised to order the bigger needles - I know it sounds strange, but it's true. The longer ones don't hurt as much as the shorter and thinner ones.
Moms and Dads: If you have kids with Growth Hormone Deficiency, don't order the smaller and shorter needles even if they are purple. The only thing I like about them is their color, and that is just not good enough of a reason to use them.

New Hair Cut
"Dear dumb diary"...
Ha ha ha... it's me, Samantha!
Today I got a haircut. OMG my hair is so much shorter now. It used to be really long, but I love brushing my hair much more now that it is shorter.
The guy who cuts my hair said my hair was so beautiful, and then he cut 5 inches off - that's crazy! I mean, I saw all of my hair by the end of a haircut on the floor, and trust me, it was long enough to make a really long beard.
I had a photo shoot a couple months ago and we just were sent my pictures. I can't wait to write a blog this weekend showing you what I look like. I really hope you guys like it. Bye!

Art Camp Junior Counselor Interview - I was accepted!
I had a meeting yesterday to be a junior counselor at an art camp and I got the job!
I feel so happy that I actually can help kids be who they are and show them that I'm there for them whenever they need my help. The camp is an art camp where we will do different kinds of art: performing art, cooking, acrylic painting, watercolor, magic, cartooning and so much more.
I'm so excited to actually be working and helping young kids at the summer camp I used to go to as a young kid myself.

Cheerleading Tryouts Round 2 Update!
I really want to be on the cheer team because it means everything to me right now. It is a chance of a lifetime and I feel like I am brave enough and I am the right girl for it. If I don't get on the cheer team, I will be sad and know it is not the end of the world. I also know "there is always next year!" If I don't get on next year, "this girl" will try out cheer in high school until I make make the team!!!
There is a new girl in our cheer group who is trying out. She is very small. My friend used to be the smallest, now the new girl is even smaller! My friend said "I miss being small, I was the smallest!" I used to be one of the smallest, now I am not even close to the shortest girl trying out for cheer this year.
I think I want to stop growth hormone therapy shots in a year. For me, I feel like it is time to start something new. I have been doing this for a long time, and growing is awesome; but being who I am is important too. Whatever height I am going to be, I will appreciate being that height. My mom says that I should not stop the growth hormone therapy until I stop growing which means that I probably will be taking shots for another 2 years.
The one good thing about growth hormone deficiency is that maybe it is making me not go through puberty yet. My doctors say that is not the reason why; but I think so.
