Dear Journal,

I cannot believe it! I was just fired from the Dame School! When I heard the news I went running off into the meadow. While I was there I realized that I was not alone. The "witch" that Judith was telling me about found me weeping and brought me into her house. I like her house. It gives me a funny feeling of comfort and courage. We talked for a bit, and I guess you could call us friends because I really hope I can go back again! But after we talked, I knew what i needed to do. I had suddenly felt bravery inside of me, and it was almost as though the house was magic! I needed that job at the dame school back, and I was certainly not going to give up!
