I'm fairly normal, like most people in the world. I'm just a 13 year old girl that lives her life. I'm in eighth grade and I'm cyber schooled.

I used to sleep in my attic, which was a fairly nice room. The ceiling, however, one day decided to crash down and a huge chunk of it fell onto my bed. For that reason, I had to sleep on the couch for around 10 months.

In this time, my older sister was sharing a room with my brother, and they had a taken apart bunk bed put on the floor. After time, my sister moved out, leaving the bed frame behind but taking her mattresses and pillows with her, leaving me to salvage my own.

I hadn't known before this that mattresses were so expensive. I had no idea how I was to afford one until one day I went to the flea market. Now, my family would go every other weekend as my grandma owned a jewelry and antique shop and this was a way to advertise it. My brother and I were each given about 10 dollars to spend on whatever we could find, but at the age of 12, that was a significant amount.

We were always instructed to stick together around the flea market, and that we did. We spent the day circling around each of the aisles until I saw something caught my eye. A mattress that was brand new in it's box.

I was tired of sleeping on the couch, as my back ached from it every morning, so I wanted to see how much it was, even though I automatically assumed it would be 50 dollars or more, way out of my budget.

However, to my surprise, it was the low price of only 5 dollars. I asked if it was used or defected, but they said that it was brand new and had never been opened, however their daughter gave it to them because she did some research on the company and didn't like her findings. The sellers told me they assumed that meant that it wasn't made of wool or some stupid generation y thing, and that's what I went with.

When I got home my mom helped me put the mattress on the mattress frame. I thought it would be uncomfortable or something that made it so cheap but to my surprise it was really soft, and I enjoyed
