Ashley, 2009 SOHO Graduate:


My older sister Diamond was in SOHO last year. She said it was fun, and she was right. I got to go ice skating for me first time. I only fell once. We got to do cool art projects for our rooms. I got to pick all me colors my favorite project was the banner because I did it all by myself.
When it was time to do my room I got to help paint. I got all over my hands and feet, but it was fun. I was so surprised when I saw my room. There was so much more space and it was beautiful. My favorite part is the new bunk bed. I get to sleep on the top. I have all these new pillows and pretty sheets. Sometimes I sit in my new chair and pretend I’m in a fantasy world. My sister and I are so happy and excited in our new room.
The best part is that when I first came to SOHO I didn’t knew a lot of the girls but now I am friends with all of them!
