Got Robbed/scammed
I brought few things, but they meant so much to me. They were my mothers plates that she gave to me so i would never forgot her. I still remember -
Arrived (trying to find a job)
There I was with my Grandmother. Out on the crowded streets, scared, and feeling alone. I was trying to find a job, since so many were thrown at me. Although majority of them were taken away because I am Irish. I finally found the perfect job plucking chickens at a chicken factory, i had a low wage. It brought in barely the right amount of money -
Land
My Grandmother nad I got land, we had to fight for it. The land was not very well, it is alright because you get what you get. This land was kindof turning into a marsh land. After we settled for a couple of days my Grandmother got an illness. -
Grandmother and I
My Grandmother got sick, with a illness that I thought was only a cough, and woozy feelings. It was much worse, She had a stomach illness that was soon to kill her, unless she got treated. Although we were doing okay with the money i bring in from my job, it wasnt enough to cover her medical bill. I had to let her pass away. -
All alone in this big World.
A year later after my Grandmother passed I was all alone in this big World. What i did all day everyday was work, go home at night. This brought in enough money for me to get one special thing once a month.
