This is my family. With
my sister in the back, and my parents beside me
This is my school: Beecher
Prep, my first school.
This is me.
This is my astronaut helmet, which Via's friend, Miranda gave me, which my dad threw out because he wanted to see my actual face.
My name is August Pullman. I'm just an ordinary kid, but the only problem I had was my face. I had a lot of surgeries just to make me look normal, but I am not. I was homeschooled until now, my mom was going to send me to fifth grade this year and I got nervous. My Mom took me to school before it started for a tour. Three kids named Jack, Julian, and Charlotte showed me around. When school started Jack easily became my friend. At lunch a girl named Summer sat down with me and we became friends. At Halloween I dressed up as the bleeding scream instead of my Boba Fett costume because I didn't feel like it. I sat on a table where Jack didn't know it was me and he said something rude about me. I felt sick. Jack in science class figured out it was me, the science teacher made Jack partners with me for a project but Julian complained and called me a freak to Jack and Jack punched him. Jack got suspended and during his suspension we became friends again. A few months later I got hearing aids. My grade took a field trip to a nature reserve and we had fun. While we where there one night jack had to go to the bathroom but the line was full so we went into the woods. We got into a fight with what looked like 7th graders but some kids who were rude to me before helped me and Jack. I lost my hearing aids but they were found again but they were destroyed. At the end of the school year I got the Becher Prep award, which was my biggest accomplishment. Everyone cheered for me and were not even worried about my face. Not all people may agree, but I am truly a Wonder.
This is Jack will, my best
friend.
This is me at my biggest accomplishment, getting the Beecher Prep award.
From: August To: Jack Will
Hi Jack! How are you doing? I have a problem. Everyone at school are walking away from me and are afraid to touch me. (u_u)
Even though I am used to it it still hurts my feelings, can you do something about it?
Sincerely,
August Pullman

My name is August Pullman. I feel like a normal kid, but my face won't let that happen. When I first went to school I made a friend named Jack Will and a girl named Summer. On Halloween jack turned on me by saying something mean to me without him noticing, he punched Julian and got detention and we became friends again. On the last day of school I got the highest award, the Beecher Prep award
