Angel Island

  • Birth

    Birth
    My mother gave birth to me right before we left for America. I didn't know what my hometown I looked like. It didn't even know what was happening. I survived the journey to America. My mother barely was able t care for me because she was so sea sick. Coming to America was tough.
  • Fire!

    Fire!
    Living in Chicago was fun! Until the day our city and home was burned to nothing. Many others had lost many of their stuff. Our family just lost a place to live and a lot of money. We weren't sure what to do. So we moved far away from there to rebuild our family.

  • No Money

    No Money
    We move to San Fransico for our family to have a house, jobs, and money. My dad and I got jobs to support the family. Apperently, American jobs pay better than jobs over in Japan. Then our co-workers were starting to lose their jobs and we were finding less money for our pay. The fincial panic punched us good and hard.
  • Death

    Death
    Our family who moved to Rockey Spring, Wyoming regrets it. My cousin and uncle were attacked and killed. The 150 white minners had also killed 26 more. My aunt and my 2 other cousins moved in with us. We grieved their loss. I tok a long time to trust an American again.
  • Shaking the Ground

    Shaking the Ground
    I know have my own family with my wife. My parents are living with me in our snug apartment. We felt this little shake. Then soon the whole house was shaking. I got all of my family out of the building. Then I reliazed it was an earthquake. I huddled my family together and hoped nothing would colapse onus. Nothing did but I needed to find a new house.
