    Ellsi Island This is when we came to the Immagration Station. I felt crowded, the people there where alright. If you are nice to them, they will be nice to you. It also smelled disgusting! It smelled like body odor and smoke. But thankfully, I wasn't there for long. It took about 5 minutes to get through the station. I was with my friends and they thought the same too.

    Modeling a Skyscraper
    I now have a job to design skyscrapers. It is very hard to get te right design that will no collapse or fall over. For this job, It is hard to make a design with the right type of supplies that you can afford and one that is not so expensive. My boss treats me very well. I usually work for about 6 hours a day part time. I earn minumum wage as an american worker.
