exploration two Asiya

My name is Asiya Mohamud; I was born Dolow Somalia. I live Columbus Ohio, I graduate Westerville South High School. I ‘am sophomore here at Ohio State University. My major is medical Lab –Tech. My fun fact is reading different kind of stories.
I found very interest story from Maurice W. Graham. Graham was born in Ohio. He was elected King of the Hoboes for 5 years. He used to travel around state to state. During world war two he served medical U.S. Army He said, “I used to volunteer much of his time travelling across the country visiting several veterans’ hospitals cheering up patients.”  He was very kind and strong man. 

Hoboes are people who travel around in the country. They look like homeless but they are not homeless. They have their own culture. They rode railroad train. “Hoboes are migratory workers who helped satisfy America's labor needs from the Civil War to the Great Depression; they lived in hobo camps, also known as "jungles.”  Their chief mode of transportation has always been freight train riding.
