Dear Ike,

I’ve heard you escaped that prison-like academy. You are very brave, you could have gone to the pound! I would never try to do that, I don’t want to go to the pound! To be honest, the academy wasn’t that bad, I mean sure, we were taken away from our owners, but it was luxurious. I loved it! I wonder if you will come back?

I came to school one day and Kynlee, Calee, Kylie, and I thought we should make a play for the class. We all started to think of ideas for the play. We eventually came up with an idea. We all practiced for weeks changing things and adding new things. Then, we finally finished our play, unfortunately we ended up not doing the play because we wouldn’t have time to show the class. so Kynlee and I started hanging out and talking, A LOT! It was about to be my 9th birthday and I invited Kynlee, but she couldn’t come because she had cheer that weekend. So instead, I invited my neighbor. Kynlee was so sad that she missed my birthday party. When I came to school on Monday, Kynlee gave me a card and told me she was “sorry,” and we became BEST FRIENDS! Kynlee is still my BEST friend today!

Kids (mostly girls under 18) had to work hard labor in textile mills. Some even died from tuberculosis and other diseases. If you get sick, you can’t even take off, or you will get fired for missing work. Most parents can’t afford a doctor or school either.

I shocked that business  owners would make kids work in such dangerous places.
