Ceremony of Twelve

I just got back from the ceremony!  I am now an Eleven.  This morning I was wishing that I was becoming a Twelve, now not so much.  Today the Chief Elder went right from eighteen to twenty.  I knew it was wrong and so did everyone else.  I tried to see who she had skipped.  I felt horrible for nineteen.  Then I started to worry, what if I made the same mistake.  I could see everyone else around me whispering and shifting uncomfortably.  Then she told us he was our next Giver.  I was relieved.  Then I remembered about the story our Father had told us, about the last person selected.  Everyone's acted funny around Jonas, who they selected.  I tried not be near him as I rode back with my family.  And now I could stay an Eleven forever. But I can't.  Maybe I should suggest it to the Elders.  I hope I'm not the next Giver.

Hi,I'm Sarah  I live in Jonas' Community and street. I live in an established family unit.  I have my mother, Myrtle, and my dad,Tom.  I have an older brother who's name is Derek.  Everyone in my family unit rarely make infractions.

I am an Eleven and soon I will become a Tweleve.  I really hope to become a nurturer.  I spend most of my volunteer hours at the Nurturing Center.

I really like to ride my bike and I'm really good at it since I got practice, when my brother privately taught me when I was an Eight.  I love to spend my volunteer hours at the Nurturing Center and the House Of Old. I also love to share my feelings at dinner and my dreams at breakfast.  I always try to be first.

I have brown hair and the normal dark eyes. I try my best to fit in and be like the other girls. I like to play with a whole group of girls.  My best friends are Marissa and Maryium.  I love to be at the reaction center and play catch.

I really enjoy it in the Community and I can't wait to get my permanent assignment.
