Hi.
Um I don't know what I'm doing...I'm Adam but my mama has always called me Curley.
I'm just trying to make friends but everyone is kinda intimidating...
Parker I think that's his name is looking at me funny, do I smell, maybe I smell?
Anyway, I'm 13 and I'm going on The Long Walk for my mama and baby sister who's sick. But I'm gonna help since dad died in the war, my dad said I had to be the man of the house well he's gone, so I'm sticking to it.
But I packed my backpack.
I've got a picture of my mama, my drumsticks, my sisters binkie which I don't need but she thinks I need it, fresh banana bread, a sandwich, and my stuffed dinosaur noodles, I don't need him but he's my good luck charm, so don't tell the other walkers I have him.
Though I think another walker has a stuffed bear?
I also brought my homework but none of those heavy state issue textbooks because they will weigh me down.
I did bring a book though to help pass the time.
I hope to make friends on this walk and make mama proud.
Now I'm just waiting for my number, a little nervous about it.
