During the DustBowl

By: Alissa W
Georgia, Grade: 5

Today went by bad. When I wokeup this morning there was dust everywhere. I had to wipe it off. I heard today that school was opening, but not for me because I have to help my mom take care of my four little siblings, while my dad is sick. He has the flu, my best friend got that last month. She is okay now. I kept sneezing all day long because of the dust. Well there went the loud sound of my sisters and brothers screaming. I don't know how I am going to get to sleep tonight.
