Dear Derek the Diary,

I need a job. Mother got fired and father works at a farm in Lexington and I need to get a job because father doesn't get paid well. I hope I get a good job I will be back in an hour. I just got a great job!!!! I got a job at the bakery they get paid 3 shillings a day because the bakery is owned by a rich guy named Ollie Johns.Today I start the job! It was a nice place but I got treated different, bossed around,and got paid 1 shilling instead of 3 just because I am only 13! I told mom, but she said that is life. Again. I think mother is really depressed and I don’t know why I need to find out.
