    My mother sent me to Ellis Island. She told me i would find better life and some work but it would take me some time. On my trip i saw many girls my age moving to Ellis Island. Many of them got really sick and passed away. I had become worried.
  • landing and finning for myself

    I had to find myself a home and food but before that i would need to find a job to pay for things i needed. I lived on the streets for awhile but after i later in life found a job.
  • My new job

    I found a job, its not the best job but its something to pay the bills. I work on skyscrapers. Its not the safest job. Many people die every week. It makes me sad to know how many lost there life. One the other hand some people just get hurt really bad.
  • First job

    First job
    It took my a couple of years but i found my way around, i still live on the streets but today i start looking for my first job. There are many jobs out there but i just something safer than buliding skyscrapers. I found a job making clothing. They gave me the job and there are many of us working. Im on the ninth floor.
  • Working in factory

    Workig in the factory is hard. We are on high levels. There are many of us working on one level. It become very crowed . It would be very easy for us to go down in a fire.
  • Injury on me

    A few years on the job and i fell off the skyscraper. It was a long and painful fall. They said i was one of the lucky one but i would have rather died then to live with this pain every single day.
  • Many years with factory

    We are working in the factory , when comes lunch break. Someone throws something in the trash bin, and starts a fire. We are all trying to get out. It is very hard, people cant find there way out. They are also losing there sisters.
