bording the boat/germany
I remember boarding the boat it was cold and just pulled into the harbor. As everybody got on i was second guessing myself but i boarded and waved goodbye to my family.The decks were crowded with people and it was hard for me to find my small room at he back of the ship. The thing that was the most annoying was the constant rocking of the ship and always getting sea sick. I didnt have many warm meals while i was on the boat. Everytime i went up to the deck the were people hanging off the sides. -
entering ellis island/new york
We pulled into the docks at ellis island and cheering and clapping just errupted from all around the boat as people were ready to get off and start their new life in america. As soon as they said we could go to the gates for are physical there was a mad rush to the gates. Everybody got a physical but not everyone passed luckily i did and i made my way into america -

building a skyscraper/new york city
today is the day that we finish the skycraper that we were working on for the past two years. It was hard hauling all the steal beams up and putting them in place. It was also very dangerous work. One of my friends fell after a gust of wind came and knocked him off the skycraper and he fell 25 stories to his death. another man was crushed by a steel beam that fell on him. -
