In class we did a journal entry either about Sir Walter Raleigh, John White, or Virginia Dare. I chose Virginia, here is what I wrote. :)

Dear Diary,
It’s our first day working on the new colony! I know it’s a lot of work to build a colony and to take care of it and its people, but I think it’ll be loads of fun! So far we’ve built ten houses. My job is to get supplies from the main hall and to grow crops to take care of the livestock, I really enjoy working I don’t know why but I do. Work here will be BUSY so I won't haev much time to write. Well, I hear John calling my name so I got to go, I got work to do.
Sincerely,
Virginia Dare.

Dear Diary,
Sorry I haven’t written in a very long time but it’s been really busy. Work has gotten harder and I overheard mum talking to papa about the natives. It seems they don’t like us anymore, they stopped trading with us. I don’t understand why though because we didn’t do anything, that I know of. Three years ago John Smith left for supplies, WHERE IS HE!? I am praying he gets back here soon or by the time he gets back we’ll all be dead. In fact, we probably won’t even make it to September! John, get here soon! Well, they called candles out, I guess I got to go to sleep. Good night journal, good night world.
Sincerely,
Virginia Dare
