Dear Mr. Salopek,
Hello, my name is Victoria and I am in seventh grade at St. Martin’s-in-the-Field Episcopal School in Severna Park, Maryland. I think that what you are doing is very cool. I would probably do it, too, if I had the chance. It’s crazy how what took our ancestors 60,000 years, you’re doing in only 7 years. Seven years seems like a really long time. I can’t imagine my dad leaving for 7 years to go on a really long walk. I already miss him enough when he’s gone for a week on a business trip. When did you decide to do something so dangerous and risky? I am looking forward to see the results of your journey, and I hope that you have a safe trip.
Sincerely,
Victoria
7th Grade, St. Martin’s-in-the-Field Episcopal School, Severna Park, MD
