Dear Dairy,
Today is my first day writing a dairy. I will tell you some more about my self. My name is Talina, I'm 13 years old. My birthday is on the 7th of February. I am born and raised in the Netherlands, Amsterdam. I have one little brother that is eleven years old and he is like a genius. I live near the Vondelpark.

I am writing this at school. I go to a international school. But I'm not too crazy about the school or let's say I hate the school.

I am going too tell you, how I got into this school.

A year ago I went to a very good primary school: Nicolaas Maes, http://nicolaasmaes.nl.
We had almost 500 students . I was in group 8, I needed to choose my next school. The Netherlands changed the whole system, they said that 99 percent will get their top five schools on their list. I got very unlucky, I was one of the student that fell into that one percent. But I was luckier than other kids. Some kids in the Netherlands did not even get a school! They were lost in the system. I got my sixth choice: Cartesius, http://cartesius.espritscholen.nl/home/
When I went to the school to meet my new classmates, I didn't like the school at all. My parents went to look at Denise (where I'm now) while I was at Cartesius. The director told us that the school was great. So I wanted to go to Denise. After the first week of school, everything what the director said wasn't true! Almost every night I need to cry because I don't want to go to school. Six months later I still hate this school. We tried everything to get me out. But all the schools said that there isn't a space for me. My mom said only three more months and then I can get you out.

Now, you know more about me.
To tomorrow.
