MISS SOUGHAN
WHEN I WAS YOUNG IN THE MOUNTAINS, I WOULD VISIT MY GREAT
GRANMOTHER'S HOUSE. IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY ELECTRICITY. THERE WAS AN
OUTHOUSE IN THE YARD. I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS GROSS. WHEN I WAS
YOUNG IN VIRGINIA, I PUSHED MY BROTHER INTO THE BRANCH AT MY UNCLE
CECIL'S HOUSE. MY MOM STARTED TO YELL AT MY BROTHER FOR GETIING ALL
WET, BUT MY UNCLE CECIL JUST LAUGHED BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT I PUSHED
MY BROTHER INTO THE WATER. ONE TIME, THEY FED ME GROUNDHOG!! I STILL
-
LIKE TO VISIT MY FAMILY IN VIRGINIA. I ALWAYS GO WITH MY
GRANDFATHER. WE DO LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS, LIKE VISIT HIS FIRST
GRADE TEACHER WHO IS 98 YEARS OLD. I LOVE MY FAMILY IN THE
AINS, AND I'M GLAD I CAME FROM-THERE.
