In the case of Marilyn, she is a disabled student that is going from middle school to high school. Due to the fact that she is the only disabled student in the school, she is going through a disengagement period where there has not been a change to engage in actives or the other students. Sometimes when growing up in school and being disabled, it is hard to be out going when kids treat Mariyln as if she was "special" when it came to the opposite sex.
             During the very beginning of the new transition, Marilyn also went through the period of Disorientation since it was a new environment and she did not have the same social setting as she did in middle school where other students were used to her having disability and she was used them. It is hard to feel intimated by a new environment while being disabled and meeting new people who feel intimated by a new setting as well. At this point, everyone is feeling disorientated and trying to place in the high school. After awhile, Marilyn and other students were becoming out going with one another because they were more accepting of the new school setting, which is a neutral zone since they have accepted their new life.
             Despite these odds and what most people said, Marilyn went to high school where she made new beginning and made a complete transition by dating, and being less isolated, which made everyone able to relate to one another. For Marilyn, it is apparent that she made the complete transition from middle school to high school, which made her more out going despite her disability.
