Help Jackie meet her goal!

When I was in the seventh grade, I transferred to a small all-girls day school in Princeton, New Jersey. It was a confusing time in my life. 🙈 I was still very much attached to my childhood while my peers were enthusiastically racing full-speed ahead into adolescence. Or that what it felt like, at least. They knew what was up, and they navigated new territory–from boys and parties to clothes and makeup–with grace. I, on the other hand, stumbled along, cheeks flushed. I just tried as hard as humanly possible to fake it until I made it, and I’m pretty sure no one bought it. ;)
