Dear Diary,
Day 2. Today is Tuesday, and today at school it was raining so hard part of the rooftop leaked. We had to tie blankets to the roof so we could not be soaked as bad. My parents are out selling items at the market for a little money to pay for food. We never get much money and we are trying to pay for debt. I am sick as I’m writing this. Dr. Garrett said I have a little cold, and it should go away after a while. I was sitting down when my parents came on the carriage when they said we just sold a candle. That was really rare and got $345! I was speechless. And at that moment it was the best moment of my life. My parents are at the market buying food for us, and my brothers are outside getting water from the well. My parents are also trying to find the landlord for the house.
