Journal 1: I Let Them Go

First semester of my freshman year, I had a Christmas concert, I was in the schools chamber singers and show choir. Anyway, I formed a small trio with my friend, and my boyfriend. It was a song called, “Winter Wolf” we were to perform it at the concert. Right before my call time to perform, I left my backpack in then girls dressing room back stage. While I was performing, which was a great experience, girls in the girl’s dressing room went through my back pack and stole my ID card. They grabbed it and tossed it in a toilet and peed on it. Gross and immature, I know. When I finished singing and I was feeling pretty good about it, I went backstage for intermission because I had a costume change. Right when I walked in, every girl that was in there laughed at me. I didn’t realize they were and so I laughed along. My best friend Vanessa gave me my ID card, she washed it for me and I will be forever thankful for her kindness. After I found out, I couldn’t believe it, I knew that I could’ve told on them, I could’ve said something but no. I regret not being able to stand up for myself. I still feel ashamed that even though I had a good reason to be upset I still let them go…
