"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

This is what the Statue of Liberty says, at the bottom, her inscription. It gives me such hope that all the rumors will be true. We got off the boat at what could only be the infamous Ellis Island. My stomach is twisted in to the biggest knot ever. I can't eat, I can't do anything but think of what will happen if I'm not well enough to pass health inspection. I have already heard the saddest stories on the boat. I haven't really brought myself to write it here yet, but I guess I have to, since nothing would really make sense from here on out... Glenn died on the boat less than a week ago, but I really think he went peacefully, and all the ladies and myself said a prayer before he was tossed overboard. I thought about going over with him, but now I know he would have wanted me to go ahead and live life in America. The nicest woman I have ever met bunked with me on the ship, named Elena (from somewhere in Russia, sometimes I have a hard time understanding her) and she has two adorable little boys, Dmitri and Quintis, I think they are just 4 and 5 years old. Anyway, she knows about Glenn and she offered for me to stay with her at her house, and she would only ask that I help with the boys.

It's time for me to go through the inspection. I'm nervous beyond belief. More later.

I have passed. It happened faster than I thought it would, they even got my name mostly write, but alas, I am now plain Nora Connell. I passed the reading and hearing test easily, but the worst part, the absolute WORST part was the health inspection. Everyone must strip naked as the day they were born, and have them check you out. I was fine, but then they flipped my eyelids with buttonhooks to check for pink eye, etc. and I swear it took all I had not to just fall over and yell from the pain, and uncomfortableness of it. Well, I have to go catch up with Elena now, and I'm going to see where I live! I'm truly one hundred percent happy for the first time in weeks.
