We then arrived at the island and all of us got off we were quite nervous because our English was not very good and we were given medical examinations and vaccinations by Americans. They were doing this to make sure they would not get sick. After we passed our medical examinations we then had to be interrogated but most of the questions were easy questions. Most people had passed the test including me. We then had to make some changes like changing to a new currency and new names. After that I was heading off to NY and able to live my new American life.]]> 2023-01-23 15:26:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2453408768 https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2453410539 I finally got to Ellis Island. I was really nervous because I didn't speak any English but I had an Intupritor to help me. Many of our names were changed since it was too hard to say or spell, and we would often get vaccinations just to make sure we won't get sick.

There was a hospital for sick people. There was a lot of people that came from different backgrounds. The government was worried that we would bring diseases to the country. So they gave us medical examinations while still on the ships. We also received vaccinations to make sure that we would not get sick. I could not speak English so it was very hard for me, I had trouble understanding what I was supposed to do and worried that I would be sent back to my home country. The Medical officers gave us more physical examinations at Ellis Island. After I pass the medical exams, I had to answer 29 questions. An interpreter who my language helped me answer the questions.  Most were easy to answer, like my name, age, and the country I was from. My name was changed because it was too difficult for the workers to say. After all the tests and changes I was able to go to the state I wanted to live in.

Many sick and unwell people were checked and many were from separate backgrounds. We had medical exams just so we could pass through and they made us take vaccines in fear of sickness. I passed the exams and I was interrogated with 29 questions. My English was very bad but I had translations for every question which helped. I was asked questions about my life and my name was changed as they said they struggled with the pronouncing it.

I did not understand many of the American languages. But I knew I was one of the only Europeans who did not have any sickness. When I saw people get processed some succeeded but some failed and those who failed got sent back. I was very afraid and nervous but I had a very helpful interpreter who actually answered most of my questions. I almost got some questions wrong like my name because I had to go by a fake identity. I answered all 38 questions and was examined for any diseases and didn't have any. I rode a boat to New York City and saw towers taller than the sky it was beautiful. Then I remembered most of my family but realized they had died coming here, so I made a promise to them I would live a good life in America.

I didn't understand what my name went but I had to deal with it. A few hours later, I passed the medical exam. I finally went to the USA with my family with USA money. I was so thankful I got to be here. Once we could enter, my whole family looked for jobs. ]]> 2023-01-23 20:19:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2453855063 https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2453860305 When I came to Ellis Island I had to get a medical exam to make sure I didn't bring any diseases with me.At the time I didn't understand English or speak it they made me change my name and I had to get vacationed because many people became sick.

At the time I didn't understand any English and I didn't know how to speak it so when they vaccinated me I didn't know what was going on. They had given me a new name so people wouldn't know my real name. Me and my family had come to the U.S because my parents needed to get better jobs to provide money to take care of us. Once I have gotten older I got a job to help my parents provide for me and my siblings. That is why we came to the U.S.]]> 2023-01-23 20:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2453863383 https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2453865868 Entering Ellis Island was a challenging experience for me. I could not speak English very well so, therefore, it was crucial because of that I had people translate words for me. I was getting examined for any medical problems, vaccinated, and things of that nature. I was made to make another name to something short because my name wasn't ¨easy to understand ¨. ]]> 2023-01-23 20:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2453865868 https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2453869618 I arrived at Ellis Island New York with my family. And it was very hard cause didn't speak much English. It was also scary cause we might have to slit up and we didn't want to do that. My family and I had to get examed physically and medically we also got vaccinated.

It was very hard because I could not speak English. Thankfully, there were people translating the words so I could understand. I was nervous because I was being tested in medical and had to get vaccinated. I also had to make a new name so it was weird when people called me by that name but I got used to it.]]> 2023-01-24 14:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2454727648 https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2454755261 going to Ellis island was a scary time. The way I was there I saw a lot of people there but when they would come up and talk to me I would not know what to say to them I did not speak English. I was mostly scared when it was time to have to answer questions I was thinking about a lot of bad stuff that can happen and I did not like being away from home but when I was done with it it was scary but not as bad as I thought it was.]]> 2023-01-24 14:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ehlerta/agdg5erb04jxhqot/wish/2454755261
