Angel Island Inspection
Before I may enter America I must go through an inspection. This inspection will make or break yu. I will eaither pass and continue my journey through America or I may be sent baack to China, I have no control over my fate. My palms begin to sweat as I become next in line. I tell myself to remember that I will pass this inspection because I have nothing to hide. As I believed, I had passed my inspection. America here I come! -
Angel Island
I have finally docked at Angel Island. I amoverjoyed. This is what I have been waiting for since I was a little girl. My parents constantly told me that there was nothing for me to do in my small town in China and that my future awaits in another country. Of course the best possible way to acquire this is by traveling to America. -
Chinese Exclusion Act
Many chinese immigrants are being taken from their jobs. Many acts are being passed to benefit locals to America rather than immigrants. I watch as many around me are losing their jobs and being treated unlawfully. This is as if a nightmare. Befoe anything like this will happen to me, I must return home. -
Home Sweet Home
I must return home to my small town in China. This is my descision. I will not be treated poorly by fellow Americans. So to decrease the possibility for this to occur I must return home. I will have to start fresh once more. China here I come, goodbye America.
