My name is Henry Johnson, a 17 year old. My family is packing things up and trying to earn money. Our family is quickly losing money. We are selling our items and doing things for people to earn some money and food for our voyage to America. We lost our jobs, and we heard that American streets were paved in gold!

The area we live is cramped, dirty, and damp. There is no privacy. How do they expect us to live in this!

We have finished being examined at Ellis Island, and I have gotten a new passport. We thankfully passed the tests. THEY LOOKED UNDER OUR EYES IT WAS SO CREEPY.

But now we are Americans!]]> 2022-06-16 15:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/AustintheGreat29/5gnnytowefdjhsjp/wish/2223157812 AustintheGreat29 https://padlet.com/AustintheGreat29/5gnnytowefdjhsjp/wish/2223358879 It is May 15, 1914. We have what they call “tenements,” which are basically run down apartments. I work as a peddler, selling fruits and vegetables on the streets.My family and I are working here and getting money here, but not much.
