I'll be there for you


I apologize for the heaviness of my last blog, about Cameron’s passing. This played a very important roll in who and where I am today. I needed my readers to understand how important this was to me, because some of my past classmates and teachers didn’t…

I don’t remember much after his passing, but I do remember who was there for me. I see who truly cares, who my real friends are and were I belong.

At Cam’s funeral, my boyfriend Daniel held my hand the entire time,. When I first entered the chapel I had my best friend Anselma and Danielle on both sides of me, Daniel behind and Cameron lying in front of me…My best friends.

Naturally everyone I knew gave their condolences. I’m so sorry, I’m here if you need me blah blah blah. But after a while of Ginger being depressed, people started to think it was time for me to move on, this put a big damper on most of my college relationships.

 Over the course of the next few months I had a hard time going to class and to social functions. My grades went down, my attendance, and me being mentally present. Soon almost all of my ‘college’ friends pulled away. I wasn’t expecting anyone to treat me differently and give me a free pass. But I did expect people to understand and support me.

For school, my understanding teachers let me get by with just getting my homework and test done on time. The other failed me because of my attendance, (I kept him updated on my situation weekly, from the beginning to the end of semester.) 

This is why I am retaking English 111 at delta.

End of my freshman year.

My next blog will be about what pushed me away from SVSU and to Delta.

  1. That must've been hard for you. People need to be more understanding under certain circumstances.

  2. I have a friend like that, and he sometimes gets made fun of for his brother's death. Its really a horrible thing that people don't care, or stop caring after they've had to hear something like that more then once. The world needs more TRUE friends.
