"Journal Writing" on David Sedaris's Remembering My Childhood on the Continent of Africa

When I was a teenager I envied the life of my best friend Sandy. She had a mother and father that were still together, she was pretty, she was smart, and she would go on exciting vacations with her family. When it was summer vacation from school my best friend would tell me that she would be leaving for a few weeks and she would see me when she came back from her trip. When Sandy came back she always had a lot to tell me. I remember one year it was about her and her family going to Walt Disney World and Epcot Center in Florida. My best friend said it was different then Disneyland in California. When she discribed all the details to me I had already made up my mind that some day I would make to Florida so that I too could go to Walt Disney World and Epcot Center.
