THE GREAT DEPRESSION
I am only 11 years old. My Mommy and Daddy don't have their jobs anymore. We lost our house because we couldn't afford to pay the rent so now we are living in a tent with eleven other people. It gets cramped at night when we lie down for bed. We don't know what is happening in the world since our radio broke. We only have a few clothes each. I'm wearing a dress with flowers on it. It's my favorite one.
My Mommy and Daddy say we can get out of here now! President Roosevelt has this New Deal thing going on and it is allowing my Mommy and Daddy to go back to work! Mommy is a seamstress. She sews pretty dresses and handsome suits for men and women. Daddy is a car salesman. He sells cars to the people. He also fixes cars when they break. I get to go back to school to play with all of my friends. I wonder if they'll be happy to see me. It's been a while. I like President Roosevelt. His New Deal programs are really neat too!
He made alot of programs for the New Deal. I like them all but the one I like most is the Investment in Youth one. The NYA was established to oversee work programs and educational grants that caters to men and woman ages 16 to 25. Even though I am only 11 I still like this Program because it helps my older brothers go to school and stay in school. Part time jobs, or work-study, help over 600,000 students pay for college and 1.5 million students stay in high school. He also made the Jobs Programs which was run by the CCC, the CWA, and the WPA. The employed 13 million people, including my mommy and daddy.
