The Change of the Depression

By: Samantha C

Dearest Diary,
Many people say this depression is the worst to ever happen to them for many people have lost their jobs and many of the rich have lost their fortune. That is all very true but I have also seen lots of good things come out of this ``depression.``

An example would be Jessica and Abigail Radkin, before this phase began they were the most snobist girls in toun. Now they are no longer snobby, but kind and generous. About month ago little Timmy was crying because his father had lost his job and they did not have the money to give him a lunch, so Jessica shared her lunch with him, and that evening Abigail asked her father to find a job. Sure enough he did and now Timmy has three meals a day.

Though we are in a depression, I would rather call it a phase of change.
