Write a diary entry or letter from the point of view of a teenager during the 1930s. Explain what you are experiencing. What are your hopes? What are your fears?

March 22, 1934

Dear diary,

Today was the day I left home. I know how risky it is, but I know that my family will not miss me. I have six siblings, and my parents will be happy to have one less mouth to feed. I know that they love me, but people are struggling so much now, it is not their fault. I will write to them as soon as I arrived to California.

I just could not stay in Oklahoma anymore. Our farm has become dusty, and we have no crops. Which means we have no food, no clothes and nothing that needs money. My family is thin because we have so little to eat. I had to leave in order to try to find work somewhere else.

I have heard that things are better in California. I hope so. I hope that when I arrive, I earn so much money, I get to eat a cheeseburger. I am also scared. I know people are not always kind to those looking for work. I am also scared of being so far away from my family. And I am scared of the dangers of jumping on trains and of policemen. But I had to do it. Now, I can only hope things get better.
