It was January and we didn't have Christmas yet because we didn't have money. My dad died from starvation. I have a baby sister and we didn't have milk for her so we had to go place to place.
In my daily life, I have to go to the soup kitchen to get something to eat. I also harvest crops from our garden in the back lot. I also plant seeds in the afternoon after I do all my chores. I sell papers under the hot sun and I have hopes that this is all going to be all over someday as it has been so bad.
I don't even have education as I can't go to school at all. My life has been so hard as it is impossible to go to school. I have no friends and my parents died and all I have are my brothers and sisters.
Looking back, I can handle all of this now that I have education. I learned a lesson during the Great Depression. As I look back to see the stock market going down, waiting and wondering in the soup kitchens but al least it was now all over.
