Building our colony took a while there were a few problems but in the end I felt like all the weight from everything I carried was lifted off my shoulders. Even though the things I carried were terrible heavy It was not so bad because William was always there to help me. The big house took the longest to build because the plantation owners wanted everything perfect. I was kind of uncomfortable building the roof of the big house because I am afraid of heights and as you know the big house is very tall. Over the weeks of building our colonies I got used to the schedule which was harsh but I knew we had to push ourselves to finish building otherwise we wouldn’t be able to survive much longer in our colony. We had to get up at dawn and work til dusk so we did not have any free time. I was surprised that the children had to work half the day because that is a lot of work for a child in the colony.
