B-+My+Travel+to+America



The journey to America was hard. It took week and I had to pay $30.00 to make the trip. We usually had to stay below deck. We were body to body, all packed in there together. I kept my one small bag wtih me, but rarely was able to change clothes. Every once in a while, we were given buckets of sea water to scrub with. We were given stew to eat while making the journey, usally the same stew each day. I made sure to eat because I had heard that America sends people who are sick back to their home countries.
