The time has come for me to make my journey into the desert. I am only eighteen. But, all children my age am required to make the journey to be accepted as adult members of the community. The village chief told me that it was very important to take plenty of water and materials to build a tent.
The mission seems long and hard. I taste the fresh water from my canteen and the sun feel too hot to bear. I travel many days and many nights.
After seven days, I return home with relief. As I arrive back at my village, the villagers appear so proud of me.
Hope this helps you:))

hope this helps
