The Not So Great Depression

By: Julianna A
New Jersey, Grade: 4

Diary,
My father just lost his job and is now a money begger and is looking for work. Since my father lost his job my mother told me to look for work. Mr.Omaga, the man from across the street, found a job for a paper person. Since He has a job he offered it to me and I took it. Today was a horrible winter day. I had to walk 20 blocks and I am tired and cold. I only made 50 cents. We are are having pea soup for dinner again. I have to work my 2nd shift again in a few minutes so Bye.
