While I strained my skinny little legs, I stared at a poster on my wall. It was one that had always been there for as long as I could remember.

Journal- February 16, 1980
February 16, 1980 Dear Journal, I have been super busy so I did not write every day last week. My days can be very busy. Monday through Friday I go to school all day. I have a very long bus ride. I catch the bus around 6:30 am, and school starts around 8 something.

Sometimes I talk to Reuben or the Davids, but they are tired when they…
