Diary Entry by Sofía A. H.

Based on A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park 

April 11th

Today I had a rough day. First of all, it was a long trip from the Ambassador’s Palace. Even though I was on boat, it didn’t seem to me as if it took less. Maybe because I was so anxious. I couldn’t wait till I got home! I just needed to tell Min the good news and to tell Crane-Man about my adventure. I would have loved seeing the look on his face when I told him about how I grabbed the shard and took it to the ambassador Kim. He would’ve been so proud of me.

I can’t help but think about what would’ve happened if I hadn’t gone on the trip to the palace. What if I could’ve seen Crane-Man or maybe I could’ve saved him. I think I might be thinking about it too much. It’s just that it was so sudden, I was completely shocked. I didn’t expect it at all.

Anyway, I’m getting a bit depressed. I’ll think about the bright side. Min adopting me was very unexpected. I still can’t believe he’s going to teach me how to use the wheel! I’m FINALLY going to make my own pottery! I’ve been dreaming of this moment! I really hope that I can make some nice pottery and maybe later, I’ll be able to sell them!
