Starting Junior High as a Transgender Student
ELISABETH HARRISON, AUGUST 29, 2013 8:38 AM

It's back to school season in Rhode Island. There's an ever so subtle hint of fall in the air and schools around the state are opening their doors again for students after the long summer break.

With the first day of school comes that familiar mix of nerves and excitement. Will my friends be the same?  What new people will I meet? Will I like my teachers? And perhaps no start of school is quite as nerve-wracking as the first day of junior high.

Now imagine that you are not only starting junior high school, you are doing it as an openly transgender student. That's what Hannah Rini of Pawtucket did.  Wednesday was her first day of school at Goff Junior High School.
