Summers Speech

Summer was in a club called Liberty Girls this last semester. They read the Samantha American Girl books, and they learned all about what life would have been like for a girl their age to live at the turn of the last century. In the last book, Samantha's friend and her sisters are orphaned and are faced with the possibility of being sent west on Orphan Trains to find a new home. At the thought of being separated from each other, the girls run away from the orphanage and end up being adopted by Samantha's aunt and uncle. Summer was very touched by this, and decided to do her final speech on the orphan trains. We were very surprised by what we learned. Enjoy!
