Date of Birth
Hey ya'll i'm Charlotte Ciara I was just adopted into a positive family. I have 2 older brothers Bently and Jake. Both brothers are 14 years old. I was raised in Dallas,Texas. My mother makes clothing an gets paid also, along with her working daily as a maid for upper class families. On the other hand my father is a hard worker as a farmer, always outside between dawn an dark. They someday hope to have a more suitable life style. -
Heading to Angel Island
Leaving my hometown for the first time. Traveled on foot 10 miles in the staggering heat. Went up and down dried up hills. Finally be able to just relax and enjoy the view. I saw birds swaying the skies for miles. A smile came upon my face in relief of seeing the nearest train station to New Mexico. On the way to New Mexico I saw clear blue skies and small towns with a population less than a hundred. After my train ride to North of Mexico I guided myself to the nearest train stations after that. -
A Dry Risk Taker
Just got dropped off by the train. In east of Arizona. I started on foot again, walked another 10 miles took several hours till night fall. I stopped by a liitle town in the center of Arizon.Met other travlers that tried to travel but gave up. I stayed the night tilI I started up again. Told the towns people all about how I was taking a risk an going to San Francisco, Calafornia so I could find jobs. If i did find jobs I would tell my folks backhome to start walking here. -
Travel on Hold
Been almost a year since I left Dallas, Texas. I've been enjoying Arizona a lot. At first I got a fever and starting coughing for awhile. I had cuts 2 inches wide and deep eough they would bleed on ease. I had'nt ate a hot meal since I left. My leather boots need repaired, a nice man in town repaired them for me until I went on my way to Calafornia. I had sent a letter to my folks saying that I had stopped for awhile so other jobs could come in an so I could take a rest. -
Leaving Arizona
Spring time came around an I was ready and more perpared to head to Angel Island. I traveled up stream to head to San Francisco. I kept on running thoughts over n' over in my head while walking. "Hi i'm Charlotte Ciara I come from Dallas, Texas my daddy back home needs better machines to plow the crops back home an my mama needs new sewing machines to make clothes with." My family needed, just needed something to make their lives better. They hope to gain what's really out there in life. -
Made It to Calafornia
Finally made it to San Francisco, Calafornia. I saw tall buildings and great body of waters. People around me were in fancy clothing I felt like a complete outcast. I had asked to near by women if I could find any job offers aorund this area. The kind lady guided to a helpful driection and I was on my way to the bigger and better adventures. In the year of 1989 San Francisco came crumbling down by a tragic earthquake.
