=__About me__= My name is Bille Jo Kelby. I live in the 1930s during the Dust Bowl in Oklahoma. I am 14 years old and I live with my daddy. I used to have a ma too, but she got burned up by kerosene and then died during the birth of my brother who died with her. After ma's death my daddy always seemed lost, and unsensible. He never helped with anything. Things were just too tense around us. One day I ran away; I had always had this thought back in my mind but never put my plan into action until today. I went west, and it was awful. It looked just like back home, so home I went. When I got home two days later there was my daddy waiting for me at the train station. He didn't seem so lost anymore. The missing puzzle peice was found without saying any words, and we came back together like a family again. Even though we didn't really leave, somehow we found our way out of the dust. =__Friends__= =__Hobbies and interests__= = __Favorite songs__= =__Education__= I have been in school most of my life. learning how to do arithmatic, and reading, writing, all that stuff. However I believe the best learning comes from hands on experience. For example, I always wanted to leave the horrible dust covered place I lived in. I thought maybe I'll go live in a nice, big city. One day when I left, I found out I wasn't happy anywhere else but home. When I came back home I realized home is always where your heart is. I also learned that I should look around me to find what I want because it may just be right around the corner even if I can't see it.
 * Ma - My mother was always proud and encouraged me until she died during the birth of my brother.
 * Daddy - We have had our ups and downs but he was always there for me when it mattered.
 * Arley Wanderdale - The music teacher at my school gave me the chance of a lifetime. I went on tour with him to play my piano.
 * Mad Dog Craddock - the boy with the beautiful singing voice. He always gave me butterflies, and came to check on us after dust storms.
 * Merry Hanson - Merry is my penpal; we are very similar. We are both independent and artistic. She lives in Pennsylvania and I hope to meet her soon.
 * I adored playing the piano before my hands were burnt by that awful kerosene.

 * The Only Exception by Paramore - This song reminds me of my family, and how much I want to be courted by Mad Dog Craddock even though I don't think he likes me that way.

 * Face Down by Family Force 5 - This song reminds me of all the hard times in the dust bowl where I would get up and get knocked right back down again.
 * Over My Head by The Fray - This song reminds me of how many struggles we had and how it seemed we were all becoming part of the dust. However we got through everything in the end.
