In truenotebooks I think the characters all inspire each other, I think Mark and Sister Janet showing up and Sister Janet speaking up for them motivates them to keep wanting to write and have something to look forward to. Also the boys have inspired others in Juvenile Hall, there are two new boys Nathaniel and Patrick in the class and they both right really good. The people who inspire me in my life are my father and Aunt Karen. My dad has always been there for me and for some of the toughest things where I thought I would never be able to tell them. I remember when I had gotten a hurnia and had to have surgery, I was scared out of my mind. The doctor said that it 99% of the operations were successful. The first time I was suppose to have the surgery I had ate so they wouldn't be able to do it. But I knew eventually I'd have to go through with it. My dad was there the whole time and the only two things I remember from that day, Is the pain and my dad standing in the hallway in the ridiculous pink plastic hospital thing to cover your clothes and he said he loved me and eventhough I hear it everyday that day it seemed extra special, I just knew I was going to be the 1%.

I think the hardships and deaths has made them the people they were when they were on the outside. Like Jimmys situtation with having a sick brother and divorced parents made him go to this gang, they probably made him feel like he was part of a family. There is only one time I can remember having to deal with something as bad ad the guys that would be the death of my bestfriends, After they past in the same year from a car accident and pneumonia I was confused, I still am three years later, Its just one minute there here with me and making me laugh and the next I'm alone and have no one to play games with or shop with. I think it made it harder for me to keep friends I meet people we hang out a few times and slowly we drift apart. They say I don't call or keep in touch and I don't know why its like that but it is. Other times I just take a seat and remember that no matter what happens I have a family who cares about me and will never let me down no matter what in this world I do they will have my back. Thats the only thing I can do to get over sad things.
