Lost in the Woods: A Brave Journey

I got lost in the woods in grade two, like lost-lost and about to sit down and bawl.

I had walked straight into the forest one day at lunch because I realized I had never took

a good look around yet like I had at home. I went so far I couldn't hear the

playground and started to panic. I screwed up my courage and found my way to a road

by the sound of cars, then walked back to the school. Recess was just

ending. I got back just as the bell rang, so the whole trip in and back was

30 min, and no one even knew I was missing. I told my mom that night because I

was proud of being brave and finding my own way back.
