The Migrant Experience

My name is Bob, i am what most people call a migrant worker. I left my farm in Oklahoma with all the other ``Okies`` just over a month ago. The reason that we left is because all of our farms dried up, we couldn`t even harvest, this left us no choice but to pack up our belongings and head California bound to look for work. Work was hard to come by, and everytime i did find a little work to do, it definately didn`t last for long. Moving from farm to farm became all to familiar and I often caught myself reminiscing on the days where food came easily. These last few weeks have been extremely hard for me to provide for my family, I can only hope that things getbetterforus.
