I can relate to this because there are times where I get blamed for things, or situations look like it's my fault just because bad timing.

Quote# 3- "It was all worth it"- Diary 7
This is signifigant to the story because it's showing the teens risking their life just to be aprt of a gang.

ZLATA FILIPOVIC

Zlata Filipovic was a young girl who unfortunately had to experience the horrors of the war of Sorajevo. Throughout the horrid experiences, she fortunately escaped the horrors with her family, and fled to Paris in 1993. She published her experiences in "Zlata's Diary". Some people have called her the "Anne Frank of Sorajevo".
PARAGRAPH
Freshman year, I failed two classes. This was a setback to me because when my family wanted to go on vacation, I had to stay home a complete summer school. Also, I was not able to go out with friends or have a cell phone until summer school was completed. If I had not made up these classes, these would've possibly kept me from graduating. Luckily, I made up the classes, and the credits I needed at that time.
