Today is the day I am going to meet my dad... I hope. I may only be 7 but I am very capable of doing some things. I know how to beg for food from strangers and I know how to get dressed... that's about it. I can read and write and paint but I'm not good at it. What I love to do most is just be a kid. No one is holding me back from being me.

That's what I was thinking about while skipping to the train station with a few quarters, my tiny suitcase and my teddy bear. One quarter was for the train and the others were for food and drinks. I got to the train station and I went to the area where they sold tickets and I had to stand on my suitcase to see but it's okay. "Um... excuse me." I said in my little kid voice that I have "What do you need sweetheart?" The lady behind the booth said "Um... I need a ticket for the train" I said while handing her the quarter "Aren't you a little young to be traveling alone?" She asked I just shook my head. She handed me the ticket and I gathered my stuff and got on the train. Soon enough I fell asleep. Next stop Tulsa.
