| Wow.......almost a year has passed since I've been here. Senior year has definetely been stressful and blah. My daddy is my hero. His words are wise and reasonable. Tonight, he mentioned a lot of stuff about college. and I think I've finally made a decision. I may have been wanting be a over-achiever rather than just facing what I see right now. I may have been worrying a bit too much; worrying too much stuff that hasn't happened yet. But I can't help it. Too much shit is going on. No matter what people say, I can't just leave my family alone. Family comes first...even before education. Without family, I don't think I can even get an education. So...........yup. So what if there may not be college life for me. I can put down a college life but I can never put down my family...If my sister ain't gonna start doing anything, then leave it to me. *sigh. i envy those who do not have to worry about anything. i envy those who are determined to move away without any consideration. but like Dia said, "there may always be some people out there who are even less fortunate than us" | | |

5. “Dust Bowl” was the name given to the southern plains because dust storms had been a frequent event in the life of the plains, especially western Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. These storms blocked out the sun at midday, seeped dusts into houses, and killed animals and people trapped in the middle of it. It turned once fertile farm regions into virtual deserts. There was also a severe drought in the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Farmers carried a high burden of debt. The collapse of farm prices meant that thousands of acres, now uncultivated, stood naked in the sun. Sod that once formed around native grasses were gone and so, the soil was left unprotected from the wind.
