The Stock Market Crash

By: Carly D
Alabama, Grade: 6

I just heard the worst news possible. My father has just lost his job. We are broke. They are taking our house in a week. We will be living in a nasty place. I cant believe that we will be broke. He told me in the living room that we have no money no house and no food. I looked for a job at the local store in Albertville,Alabama.I had never seen so many people crying and so upset. It felt like the world came to a sudden end. We had to wait 3 hours every day to get some food. I never got a job and we were still broke. I was raised in a house but lived in a dumpster when I was older. when the stock market was recovering and people were getting their money back we had a house again. We had everything back that we lost when the stock market crashed.
