Preparing for my Bat Mitzvah

 On Saturday I will be having my Bat Mitzvah.

I feel really nervous because I really don't want to mess up in front of all my friends and family.   I have a fear that everyone will laugh at me when I began to sing the prayers.  I have a pretty good voice  however everybody has their own opinion of what sounds nice to them.  What if no one shows up at the temple?  The show must go on!

 I feel that my mother is always hovering over me  asking me questions and I just want to be myself and do what I feel is right.  Why doesn't she trust me and my decisions?  I am only 13 and maybe there are some things I need to learn.  I hardly know everything, and that's why I don't have Snapchat,    I only have Instagram.

 I feel that by having my bat mitzvah I will have more freedom  to do the things I want to do  instead of my mom watching me every second of the day.  Well she doesn't watch me every single second of the day because she doesn't go to school with me or sit in my room all night when I do my homework or sleep in my room which is probably a very good thing.  I must admit, I might be overreacting.

 I hope that all my stress for my Bat Mitzvah will be gone by the time Saturday comes and I will show everyone what Seriously Samantha can do!

Wish me luck!

What Color Should I Choose?

There are so many needles in this world... some hurt and some don't.

For me, there are colored needles: purple, pink and yellow I started off with yellow-packaged needles when I first started my growth hormone shots. When I was almost finished with the first batch of my shots, purple needles were delivered.

OMG! The purple needle-size hurt so much.  They were too thick and long - they scared me!  I begged my mom to ask the prescription company to send the yellow-packaged needles, which did happen thank goodness.  I used these needles for a long time.

Just last month, pink needles arrived. When I opened my package of supplies which were delivered I gasped - ANOTHER COLOR?  Who knew needles came in so many colors!  These needles looked twice the length as the yellow and the purple ones.  I must say, at first I was really nervous and sick to my stomach thinking of how to take my shot with these new needles. I put the needle in my body for the first time and I was surprised; it didn't hurt at all!

Now, the needles I was once so afraid of are my favorite needles. Yesterday my newest needles were delivered and they're yellow (which are my second favorite needles).

I need to decide whether to use the yellow or the purple ones; what should I do???
