D-Life+in+America

Life has been exciting but very hard. I heard of great opportunties here, but now I am not so sure. I heard of farms and land available to all, but it seems that they are no longer giving land to us to get started in this country. I have decided to stay in the city, but this is hard for me since I do not speak their language and I am not sure how to do the work to get a job. I live in a busy building in the city. It smells badly and I am staying in one room with another family I met one day. There are seven of us in this tiny room. Everyone on our floor shares one sink and there is a toilet in the basement. I am happy that I am living around other people who have come from Italy. At least we speak the same language and we can remember the old country together. They do not think my religion is strange. I am here and I have hopes that things will get better.
