Question

Write a journal entry from the point of view of a sailor leaving for his first journey.

Answer 1

I finally got a shipping job on the docks. I start my first travel tomorrow. I am very nervous. I have never been on a boat. What if I get seasick or I give the wrong coordinates? That will be an embarrasment to me and my family. I would probably get kicked off the docks and I wouldn't be allowed to step a foot onto the ships. I beat stop. We leave at first light.

Sincerely,
Benjamin Breaks
