As we slept in our warm, cozy beds we felt secure and safe. That morning couldn’t have been more beautiful, it was a perfect day for sledding it was sunny and warm with a slight breeze but what was best of all it was quite and peaceful in the backwoods of Minnesota.
I remember that day, we were playing with my dad outside in the mists of day.

My first day I was required to wear a ugly uniform and when I walked into the room people just looked at me but luckily after one year I went back to the backwoods and continued my life
