My First Train Ride

            It was 6 a clock, and I waited on the railroad tracks to board my train. With my pillow in one hand and my bag in the other, I walked up the steps into the train. It was my first time riding the train by myself. I was a little anxious of who I would have to sit next to. I got my seat number and prayed I wouldn't have to sit by anybody.
