To my friends & family in Italy,
I have only been in America for a few weeks now, it was a long hard journey to get to where I am now but I know it will all be worth it in the end. Leaving all of you in Italy was definitely the hardest part about all of this. After boarding a boat with not one friend or loved one, and being stuck there with them for a very, very long time it was difficult not to want to go back home to my family. But I knew that going to America was the right choice to be making for a good future.

One thing that I was particularly looking forward to was to be able to look for my new job, most would not find this to be exciting but I see it as a new challenge to be taking on. There are so many different jobs available here in America, most available jobs are working in a factory. This job was a new experience for me to go through so it was a bit of a hard change to get used to. After working at it for the many hours it became significantly easier to handle, this was a good thing because if you did not maintain a fast working speed then you would be punished. I am very glad to be able to have this job even if it is not something that I had expected to be doing, but I know that this is something that I need to be doing in order to send money back home to my family. My job is extremely demanding with our hours, we are being forced to work 10-12 hour days six days a week, but it is definitely worth it to be making any kind of money no matter how much it is, anything will be helpful at this point. If anyone were to ask me if I think they should make the journey to come to
