My Name is Amaria by Asia Dantzler
Amaria steps onto the spacecraft. Leaving New York was tough but it was time to go. She was now headed to Atlanta-205, seven lightyears into Galaxy-4. The journey was a day long and it would be filled with nothing but reflections. As Amaria stepped out of the plane it was nothing like New York. No hotdog stands, no loud kids, no loud trucks.
