Day 1
yesterday we left ireland. I slept horribly last night, and I dont think its joy or nerves that is making me nauseous.  my 10 year old brother, is really worried about me and I often see him crying for someone to help me.  Also, I feel dizzy a lot and it is hard for me to breath at night.
Day 18
We arrived in ellis island today.  My little brother got to see the statue on arrival, but i was in steerage being sick as usual.  Well, the examinations did not go well, and I got detained for heart problems.  papa always said there was something wrong with me. he said when I was little I would always get really sick and they thought I was going to die one time when I was 6, anyways I was glad that I was being treated, but was scared that I would have to go back home.
Day 21
dad came to see me today, he was really worried, I told him that he should go home, because of all the greif brother was in, so he took him home but came to visit me every saturday until he knew that I could finally come home with him.  I did not think that that would ever happen.
Day 28
I don't feel very good today, I had one of those breathing attacks last night again, and the doctors are always whispering my name out side the door.
(she had a seizure or something  and died the next day :(...)
The End

Day 90, It has been 90 days since first joining the team of doctors. This was a  really difficult time to not be a little depressed with all the families who were crying because they needed to be sent home. I am examining the patients to see if they have been taken by an illness. The most recurring disease I have seen was probably scarlet fever. I am probably very important to the journey for these aliens. I am still waiting for my family to arrive from their voyage to Ellis Island.

3 days ago I arrived at Ellis Island, and sought a new life like everyone else. When I arrived and the doctors checked me for anything wrong they found out that I have scarlet fever, and am very ill. So I must remain here for quite some time so that they may be able to  treat me. I am worried it may take a while and that I won't be able to get a job and make a home for myself if I remain here any longer. The treatments have been helping and I have started to feel better, though I am worried it may take a turn for the worse. I have to have hope that I will make it and that I will be able to start a life here, and that the voyage here was not for nothing.

It was march 7th, on the cold day. The wind snarled, and the ship rocked back, and fourth. He left me. He left me for what he thinks will be a better way, a better life, a better death. He left despite my cries of despair. Did he not want me any more? I decided to write him something, since its been a year. "Dear Father, Why did you leave me? Mother is dead you know, you were all I had left, But you left me here, with nothing, so you, can go live a better life. I will make it to America one day, and when I do, I will find you. You left me with nothing and no one. You will face the consequences. From, your lovely Son, Welster." He will pay for what he did, this cold winters night might be his last.

It has been very long since we have got on the ship. We have been traveling for maybe 3 days. The steerage compartments are really dirty and you can catch rats running through them. I am mostly concerned for my children. There is rats, spiders, and it feels as there is no air conditioning.

Thursday, March 18 1901

Today was hard to bare. I had to leave my wonderful children and my dear wife to come on this journey. I keep wanting to go back but I tell myself that this is best and that I will be with them soon. I was lucky to get in second class but the boat looks like it has sailed 100 years ago and the smell is almost to much to handle! I hear shouts, cries, laughs, but the only thing I can think of is when will we be there.

It has been so long since we have seen land. We have been traveling for days and there has been very little food for anyone. Lately we have been having a lot of storms. It has been very hard for my two kids they have been getting sick and there is only one doctor. I just want to get off this boat and see the Statue of Liberty. Then we can find a home and have a better future. Right now it is night and I am trying to get some sleep but there are to many noisy people. I just want to get off!

Today we begin the dangerous voyage to Ellis Island. I know it is a dangerous voyage but me and my children will be safer in America. And we cannot live in Russia for much longer the Soviet Union is a tyrant of a leader. I know what is right for my children and Ellis Island is the only way to achieve a good life.

It was a long journey to reach Ellis
Island. Once we arrived I knew this would determine rather or not I could continue my journey. This was a very stressful time knowing that there was a possibility I would stay on Ellis Island or even half to return home. I had put my luggage down and was about to take the six-second test. It was my turn and the doctor started the six-second test and after all that stress I was free to continue. Now it was time for my interview. I had come with little money but I could read and write. I was up next to take the interview but freaked out so I sat down and breathed. Now I was ready I took the interview and passed. It was the most worried I had ever been.

It has been 5 days since they first took me in, I was marked with a red mark. For further inspection, I am being kept at Ellis Island. At least I am not one of them who got sent back to where they came from. They had some sort of eye disease or something wrong with their scalp. I am not sure how much longer I am going to be here. But some of the people got black X marks and they are mental. Its terrible, but I think I have hope. Hope of a new life.
