I have to work long hard hours in dirty and dangerous factories. My family is cramped inside one little room and it's dirty still. This is not the life I wanted to live in.]]> 2016-09-15 11:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124014309 I arrived to the United States yesterday . I am only 9 years old . As soon as I here i was put through a tough inspection . After that I was put immediately to work inside of a sweatshop . The days are horrible in there . Its very hot & the machines are dangerous but I have to do stuff like this to help my family . They make me climb on top of huge machines that are SUPER hot & have sharp things coming from them . Sometimes i get cut but they don't care . I didn't know it would be like this . I'm very disappointed & scared  https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124014404 2016-09-15 11:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124014404 https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124014524 I moved to American for a better life but all it seems is hard, dangerous work. I work long days from sun up to sun down, for very little to no pay. Work conditions are terrible, I am always sneezing from all the dust and the work area is hardly ever cleaned. My whole family has to work in under for us to keep what little we have, we all stay in a tiny little room all crammed together. ]]> 2016-09-15 11:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124014524 When I came over to the United States I thought things would be different. I didn't know things would be as dangerous as they are. The work conditions here make regret coming over sometimes. I came here to live the American Dream not this.  https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124014542 2016-09-15 11:37:50 UTC https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124014542 When I came to America, I thought it would help benefit my life but I thought wrong. I have to work long hours in very hazardous working conditions. I never would have thought that this was what would be in store for me.  https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124014701 2016-09-15 11:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124014701 I moved to America to start a new life and to make more money to send home to my family. It is not what I thought it was going to be! We are treated very unfairly and have to work in dirty and dangerous factories. Sometimes I wish I would have stayed home!!! https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124015122 2016-09-15 11:41:47 UTC https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124015122 https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124041380 I moved to america to start a better life for myself. My country does not have a lot of opportunities for what I want to achieve in life. I would like to be accepted as US citizen. I just want my life to be better then it was in my country.]]> 2016-09-15 13:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124041380 I came to America to start a new beginning. I thought it would be a dream come true but I was wrong. I was barely getting threw low money living in the geto. But what was worse was how the children were treated I should have staid in Scotland. https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124041675 2016-09-15 13:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124041675 When I came to America I thought it would be a better life  https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124041814 2016-09-15 13:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wgraves/juewp2602mus/wish/124041814 When I was only 9 me and my family migrated from china.
