Dear Diary

I saw some interesting called Television. It shows us much news by their people and sometimes they show comedy and much kind of funny stuff and scary stuff. But I think we are not going to having that object. Because it is very expensive to buy and set it to my house and they take money to watching those programs. I wish I could have that to my future
Today is my birthday, and I didn't get any present because my mom doesn't have any money. And now I can speak English better than last year. Now I can speak English and communicate with my Japanese and Italian and I am attending school every day for free. Some group called "Christian" made school for us for free by their charity. And my sister and brother can speak English too. They are little bit better than me. I don't know why they are better than me. So now my sister and my brother is going school together. And American education is harder than German education it makes me kind of dizzy and good thing is they don't give much home work than German School. They only gave us math and spelling homework for elementary. It is a good thing for me I can play with my friend after school. But their mom doesn’t let them play with me because they need to study for their test. So it's kind of lonely and next year I'm going to be middle school and it might makes me busy so I think I can't write any diary anymore so this might be the last diary of my life.

Sincerely, Adolf

P.S I might continue!!!

Dear Diary

I am kind of struggled with my language and our manners. I cannot speak any English well. It is very hard to learn English for me. But my French friend learned English so fast that he moved to main island and study with other American guys. We started at the same time but he learned faster than I. And I do not get the pronunciation. It is somewhat hard to say it. And America and German has different manners. They are very different. Also I do not know the job they provide us. We are doing farming but they do not let us work in different jobs. And also we lost some money because we brought 1000 Euro for the Trip but they do not let us exchange their money and our money. So it is very bad thing for us. Because of that, we become poor and sometimes they do not give us food. We need to buy them now. And at the summer, they do not have pool so we are bountiful of scary and they do not let me go into the ocean. They said you might sink and die. So they only let us play with water. Only a little bit.

Sincerely, Adolf

Dear Diary It’s been one week living in America now. For me it is tired of living in America. It is very uncomfortable with my body. I got sick next day when I came America and I did not eat food for days and it's still sick. There is no doctor so I have to sleep outside because I do not want to give them my virus and kill. And outside, it's very cold. I thought it was warmer than before but it was much colder that German. I feel like I am dying. I wish I can be better at tomorrow. And start to make friend in Ellis Island. Today’s dinner was soup again. Every day we have only bread and soup. Sometimes they gave us some meat but it's not cow. It is chicken or pig. And it's not yummy. Sometimes German sausage comes out. If it came out every day. I will be very good and feel better than before. I might take all them. When I was cold, there was one Japanese boy talk to me but I do not know what language they speak I spoke with my mother tongue. We do not know one another but we became friend somehow. Japanese are very friendly they do not betrayal like German friends. They talk to me in Japanese and but I do not know what they are saying. So I need to learn English and Japanese. Sincerely, Adolf

Dear Diary It was long time no see. When I arrived America, it was already winter. I smell cold air and my nose almost freeze. In my journey there were many bad things. Everybody fight with their food and they are many guys who got injured by that. It was very bad thing to see for me. And I am going to live in a little island called Ellis Island because America people do not want us to be at real land. But it is still beautiful place. Because our house is near a statue who girl standing with fire and book. It is very shiny and beautiful. I think we cannot be in there. And our house is not big as my old house. They have many people sleeping with us. It thinks we will be hot and if my sister cries, we are very rude. And they are many people from another country so it will be very bad. And my happiest thing was dinner. This is my first time to eat my dinner in another country. It was very yummy especially breads. Our house's one is very hard bread which is made out of crops. But this is made out of flower. And also soup was very yummy. I do not know how they make it but I might figure out if I become adult. Also I had a good thing beside that. There are very good beds. It is very soft so I can sleep well at there. I do not know how many days I am going to staying but I wish government let us be in the island. Sincerely, Adolf

Dear Diary

now we are riding ship called mayflower. I do not know what that mean. I think its other language so I might need to learn little bit of that language. There were many people in the ship. I was the first one who rides the ship called mayflower. There were many people in the room. It is very small room but out family can sleep in here for few days. And my mom said if you stay in the same air, you feel sick, so you need to go out and breathe some new air from sea, so that you do not get sick and throw up. And finally ship began to move. It moved slowly at first, but it becomes faster and faster. And also it waives too much and room smells strange, so I went out. It was very dark outside and it almost becomes night. And somehow, sky begins to rain. It was so hard that I felt like my mom is hitting me. So I quickly went near roof and wait until it becomes sunny. I waited like one hour. And it becomes sunny. It was almost night, when I went in, everybody was in sleep. I felt very tired too. So I will sleep now.

Sincerely, Adolf

Dear Diary I am leaving my home country because my dad doesn't have a job in Germany. So I have to move to another country called United State of America, where there are many people lives for work. My dad said that if he can find a good job, we might go back to Germany live their life. I am worried about moving to America. It might be very difficult to live. I do not know any language they speak, and I do not know what kind of people are they live there. I do not know if they Euro but they might do not use Euro so I am kind of worries about it. Sincerely, Adolf
