Starting a new school year at a new school is tough for any teenager. Jamie Wadzinski found herself facing this challenge on an island halfway around the world.
Of her initial experience at Radford High School, Hawaii, Jamie said, “I was uncomfortable, and I didn’t know anybody because it was across the ocean from everyone I knew and where I had lived most of my life.” She admitted she hid out in the library and wouldn’t eat lunch because she was afraid to sit alone at the lunch table. “I was shy and scared.”
