dear journal,
I am a child in the US I am a part of child labor i work on farms for tortuous hours. I spend my day picking crops I have to work and i can't play. My parents forced me into child labor. Where I live is the only country in the US were child labor is allowed. i can't go to school work to bring food for my family. I spend all day in the blazing sun and I have to move from country to country while i'm away I miss my family .I wish I could go to school and I know one day I will.

Nicely written! You really got into the character. Just so you know, child labor is legal on farms EVERYWHERE in the U.S...can you believe it? We should do something to end this.
