A fresh start, a new beginning of a new day, a morning so simple and quiet only the sound of a passing by bird could disturb it. Valerie opened up her honey brown eyes that morning and took a good look around her, she had a feeling that this day unlike other days would be just perfect.
She quickly jumped out of bed in a ridiculous manner and rushed to the bathroom. She was about 10 years old at the time, her mom and dad out placed a couple of steps for her in front of the sink so she could reach up there. She took a bath, brushed her teeth and armed with a sweet smile she was ready to face the world. “Daddy daddy”, she said. “Can I go to the zoo with Sarah today?” she asked politely.
“Sure you can sweetie, I’ve talked to Sarah’s mom and she said she’d love to take you two to the zoo after school.”
They got into the car and drove to school. At school, everyone knew Valerie as the sweet quiet kid in class but not today, something was different, she was happy than ever before. The smile on her face resembled a piece of gum stuck to someone’s hair. She was waiting patiently for school to end, and when it did, Sarah’s mom came and took them both to the zoo.
It was her first time to a zoo, a new experience you could say, lots of animals in different shapes and sizes. She began to wander by herself and look at those amazing creatures. A while later she realized that she was drifted away from Sarah and Sarah’s mom. She was all alone in a zoo lost with no clue what to do.
