2. Personal Motto
“Twenty years from now you will be more
disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than
by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.”
~Mark Twain

36. March 5, 1943.
Dear Friend,
My stomach feels like
butterflies. Why is this
happening? One day I was
happily making bracelets,
and the next day somebody
came to the door and said
we had to go to camp
because we look like the
people we are at war with.
It’s so not fair. America
doesn’t trust us anymore.
