December 04, 1819

Dear Dairy, 

     Today the year is 1819 and I have been alive for 347 years. I remember when I was a young women and now I am an old lady waiting to finally die. I am sitting in my bedroom sick and fill of weakness unable to live any longer. I am in the United States and there is nothing left for me here. My husband Big Bear has passed away this morning due to smallpox and now I will pass tonight due to old age and tiredness. 
     My life has been very fulfilling and fill of courage, strength, and unfairness. The life I've lived has been worth living because I've been able to see the world in two points of views. Everyone has different opinions and I've been able to help my Native American people make a difference in this White world. The United States is slowing processing and changing for the fairness of every individual American. I feel as if I've seen everything I need to see and now it's up to someone else to make create a better United States to live in. Throughout my life I've seen Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and much more important people that have made our life what it has become now. These people will always be remembered because they left a legacy, as I hope I leave a legacy with these remarkable entries.
     I now know though my life time of experience that Christopher Columbus did not discover America, he was actually somewhere in Asia. Also, the Constitution has made each individuals life much easier. The Bill of Rights gave each person individual rights that the government could not take away. Life from now on will be completely different than what it was before, it'll be better. It'll be worth living.
Today my life is coming to an end and I predict that in 2019 the land will spring much greener than it is now, the sun will shine brighter and brighter, the government will be under control, the Constitution will benefit every single American no matter the color and gender. Although, I assume since 2019 is 200 years from now there will still be disorganization and unfairness among this universe. I believe color and gender will always play a role in this nation and all we can do is try to make things equal between every human being. Fairness and freedom is important but never as important as the freedom and fairness to live. Without life, we have nothing. 
     My life is slowly fading and soon there will be nothing but a memory...
     With all I have left in me,
