My name was Woung Yun. My purpose of writing this dairy so that my family would know when my father and I left off. I'm 16 years old and I have 1 brother and mother and a father.

So my family decide that me and my father would go to the Golden Mountain meanwhile my brother and moher stay in China.Then when everything was planed, my father and I went to the dock and slept at night in boat.After a long journey, we stop at Angle Island.

It was hard to rent a house, but we luckly got one even though the house was small. So my father and I got a job as a construction worker. Then we got less pay from the man whos is the boss over the construction site, but we didn't care as long we get paid. Then after that we went back home and send our money to my mother and brother in China. The next day we work at another constrction site, but it was difficult work there because of climbing up and getting down from the building. -

I made friends who were immigrants, they are the same age as me. We talk about our life. Then I got a news paper, it showed a man falling from the construtioin site when he was trying to hammer the nail on the railings. Then my father and I met other family realties and talk for a while about our life and events that have been going around. At the construction site, we were told to meet with the man at the boss office. He told us about going to NYC because they need more construction worker. -

We went to the train station and took about 6 days to travel. Then in NYC, the buildings was more larger than the one we're at from CA. The job in NYC was more difficult than in CA. So we were lucky that we didn't have to fall or hav to climb up very high. We still get less pay. Then another day some white demons were telling us move away from America and wanted us to never come back or else they would hunt us and beat us up. We didn't care as long as we keep making money for our family. -

It a month to finsh the building, then we left Amercia and met with my mother and my brother.
