HI, I'm Jocie Ann, I'm 12 years old, and I have a little sister named mary lue. We live with my mum and dad. Every day WE have to do chores and clean up the house---it is a very difficult task. While my mum does the cleaning, unfortunately my dad did get home from his job until yesterday. My mum she will talk to us about it tomorrow. My dad walked into the house. Very tired i could tell by is eyes the. Were all pink and heavy looking. I felt sorry for him i asked. Dad what was wrong. He said he lost hes job. I could not. Believe what he was. Saying but I could tell everything was going to be ok.Over the months and days, depression was getting worse. Everybody was loosing there money that's why my mum put the money to use. To tell us to make sure we had enough food. One day my mom ran out of the house I no idea why she running i looked outside she looking up the sky holding my little sister in her arms I asked what are you looking at she look at all the dust of course I did not care. Until it got really bad the whole sky was covered in dust it was covered from miles and miles on i could not even breathe so did my sister and my parents so set off to California i was so excited to leave this dreadful place but at the same time iam sad because i had wonderful memories so we set off in are car we drove forever it seemed like but finally we made it at last i said very loud i was so happy to be home and the depression ended on world war 2.
