A whole new way at life

By: Lexie T
Texas, Grade: 4

Dear Diary,
Because of taxes that we couldn't pay, we were forced to move out of our home. Papa says EVERYONE has to work for us to be able to afford the supplies that we need... including me.
For the next few days, daddy tried to find a place where work could be done that isn't crawling with people like us: homeless, workless, moneyless, who are struggling to find a way to survive.
I maybe don't know how long this is going to last, but I know one thing, I will find someway out of it.Someway out of this whole new way at life.
Until tomorrow,
Kathleene D.
