When I came out of the car carrying my bags, everybody was already busy doing their own job. I felt like I needed to do something to help others, so I set out looking for some work. I heard one of my little cousins crying, which sounded like he needed somebody’s help. Therefore, I knew my job would be to take care of the little ones. I took them to a playground near our campsite and explained the rules that they should do or shouldn’t do. I felt like a …show more content…

It was getting considerably darker, so I just told my older cousins to take the little ones back home. I played for a couple of minutes with that little cousin, but as time passed, it became so dark that I could barely sight a few objects near myself. I was scared, embarrassed and also horrified. I could view nothing but my aunt’s friend who has been supervising us while we were playing. All of a sudden, we lost track of the way we had been walking on. However, none of us knew where it was. What had happened was that I was following her and she was following me. Despite all the terrifying thoughts remaining in my brain, I visited all of the campsites walking by and asked for a map and a flashlight. Fortunately, we lent a flashlight, so we knew who was walking near us. Suddenly, I heard noises and voices from the back of us. I prayed to God that they were hopefully the ones looking for us. From being squeezed so tight, my hand became so white. They were my cousins and uncle. I was so satisfied when I met them that I fell on my

At first, I followed the edge of our property line until I came to a little trail in the weeds that looked like it been made by a deer or another good-sized animal. It descended gently down the escarpment at first, but then I had to quicken my step as it became a little steeper, eventually taking me right down to the Genesee River. The river itself wasn’t as wide and as deep as I thought it would have been, and in spots it looked like you could cross without needing the aid of a bridge, the water perhaps coming up as high as my waist. But that was most likely because it was August and the heat wave we’d been experiencing had the area gripped in a drought. I had followed the river’s rocky shoreline for a little ways while listening
