[ DAD MODE ACTIVATE. ]

I'm attending Heropa High. Some of my friends from Heropa Middle are gonna be there, but a lot of them won't be.
pushtheboundaries: (i'm not sure where i'm headed)

Unfortunately, that sort of thing can happen. But that doesn't mean you can't stay in touch with them and see how they're doing. Still, it's good to have some people you know - you'll be able to get along together.

You know, lots of schools put out supply lists ahead of time- you should try and see if you can track one down, to make sure you'll be able to get everything you need. You can make a trip of it with your friends.

Yeah, but I'll have to meet new people and make new friends! Again! For like the fifth time since I've been here!

[ and Hime lets out a nervous little 'augh' noise because introductions are hard. ]

Plus...I don't wanna mess everything up again.
pushtheboundaries: (note the age)

It sounds like you've got some practice. What are you worried about repeating?

[personal profile] friendshiprocks 2015-07-20 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, the first day of school back home...I kind of messed up. I got so nervous that I couldn't properly introduce myself and then got so scared I hid in a supply shed.

I know that I've changed a lot since then, but...it's still kinda scary, you know?
pushtheboundaries: (you try to climb a mountain)

[good lord]

It couldn't have been that bad, Hime. And sometimes you can just pass it off as you 'messing up' on purpose, and turn it in to a joke.

[ it was that bad. ]

You think so? I'd have to practice that though, I'm not really good at just being funny on the fly.
pushtheboundaries: (so just hold me close)

[personal profile] pushtheboundaries 2015-07-21 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't worry about it, either way. First impressions aren't everything, Hime, and I know you'll do fine making friends. If you're not comfortable being funny, don't try to be.

Just be yourself.

[personal profile] friendshiprocks 2015-07-21 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I...okay. If you think that's the best way to do this, then I trust your judgement!
pushtheboundaries: (could you do it for me)

[personal profile] pushtheboundaries 2015-07-22 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have any idea how many students I've seen trying to be someone else, only to end up being miserable?

I'm speaking from experience, here.

[personal profile] friendshiprocks 2015-07-22 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah...I had kind of forgotten you're a teacher.
pushtheboundaries: (will i still be safe?)

[personal profile] pushtheboundaries 2015-08-05 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Even if I wasn't, I did raise a child. And I'm sure your own parents would give you similar advice.

Now, is there anything else I can help you with?
