Dear Diary

Month 1: I can feel this year is going to be a great year. I feel happy as Larry. We finally settled into our house, we got our life what feels like on track.

Month 2: Today it happened everything turned upside down it was really bad I still cannot believe it.

Month 3: We have left been now going to some place I don’t know but mum said that it is for the best. I just hope that we all make it there together. Mum and dad said “we had to choose three things to take with us” we all chose to take a photo of one another and some personal items also, mum chose water and our family documents, dad got food and blankets to keep us warm, My brother chose water and food, I choose my hair brush and water.

Month 4: The travel is taking for what feels like forever but I know we will get there some day. Dad is sick I hope he makes it.

Month 5: We’re here, finally made it. Dad went to some big hospital but I believe he will be fine, but it is hard not knowing.

Month 6: We’re finally settling in, Dad is back healthier and better than ever We’re all together and living in a place called China we had heard of it before but I never thought it would be like this.

Month 7: We have been told that we are moving to a different camp so I have to stop writing.

feel excluded

When you feel excluded you feel bad as you want to be somewhere else. It makes you feel awkward and you’d want to go home or wish that you were one of the people that were excluding others. You wish you were somewhere other than where you were getting excluded. It is something you would not do to others,  you would want to make others feel included.

my aunty

The person I get along with the most in my family is my Aunty Shea. She lives in Perth in the hills. She is nice and has a cool house in the hills. She has a dog called Jess and chooks – she used to have lots and lots of chooks till a fox came and killed most of her chooks and now she does not have many.  She does not breed chooks any more.

proud

I felt really proud when I went to Jewel Cave. It was really far down and I so wanted to back out but when I did it I was so happy. They even told us facts and showed use around the cave.

You would think that there are jewels in Jewel Cave but there are none there is no colour there is only the light display.

In the cave there were lots of things to look at – the erosion in some of the rocks looked like Karri trees and there were also stalactites.

There was this major hole where the first person ever came down, as the hole was there animals would fall down and slowly die – there was even a possum skeleton just lying on top of a rock not like most artefact. It was amazing.

It was really cold, I even said to my mum and dad that it would warm but was I wrong. As you were walking the dew on the wall would make you wet not a good feeling.

I went with my aunty and uncle and their kids, my cousins. There were spots on the walk with plastic overhead and some of the stalactites. I had to duck but as my aunty is smaller she thought she was okay but she hit her head and started laughing.
