I have written this letter to tell you all about the great depression. As a kid I went through  some tough times and din't always have time to play and be a regular child.  I had to work and provide for my family so we could have food on our table and a roof over our heads. It was endless working and suffering, but today kids don't have to work as hard as I did. So whoever is reading should appreciate what they had and not take things for granted.  So in some ways the Great Depression helped me be a stronger person and also taught me to be grateful for what I had.
                                                                                  Sincerely, 
                                                                                                   Isabella Valerio]]> 2019-12-14 16:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/3665671/94t0qyn7b2hi/wish/424154094 3665671 https://padlet.com/3665671/94t0qyn7b2hi/wish/425218983 2019-12-17 20:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/3665671/94t0qyn7b2hi/wish/425218983
