Never in my outright life would I have fathomed life to have thrown me a curve ball like the one pitched at me in August of 2012. The person I once knew‚ Tammy‚ had gone missing until she found herself. The transition to a puny town from an immense city completely changed who I was. Let’s start from the beginning. I had a vast amount of friends‚ majority of my school knew me‚ being accepted into AVID‚ people knew my religious personality‚ and accepted my disposition‚ and I had a sense of belonging
