Dear mama
I am on my way for the boat trip I am a little scared but excited too. I have brought my stuffed dog Gabby with me too. But now I see that you can’t have real dogs so that is good that I did not bring our real dog Bear. I wonder if it will be fun on the boat or not I hope it will be fun.

Dear mama
I am at the station now, it is very loud and crowded, oh and I made two new friends, their names are Cora and Marie they are the best. We share a bunk, we have a lot in common like we love dogs, their favorite is a black lab. Mine is too. A lot of people don't feel good, but I feel fine. I can’t wait to meet Ari there and see him.

Dear mama
Marie, Cora and I are not feeling that good anymore, everyone has to stay at the bottom of the boat,it is very small down there and squished. There is a big storm up there. Good thing we are down at the bottom of the boat. It is really cold down here but it is still better than up there.

Dear mama
We are getting off the boat now it is very loud. We all have to go in a line. When I get called to the front a man looks at me and gives me an X on my coat so I take it off and slide to the other line. Then this man asks me questions I do not understand. So a man comes up to me and speaks my language so I answer him and then he tells the man my answers. Then some men came and asked me do you have an adult older than 18? “Oh yes,” I said. I have a brother Ari he should be here any moment now. But he never came that day so I had to go in a small room with a lot of people. I saw Marie and Cora so that made me feel a lot better.
The next day Ari never came so they sent me to a boat. Just about when I was going to get on the boat, Ari came! I was so happy he was too. Then the man asked him, “How old are you?”
Ari said, “18”
The man said, “You may take her.”
We were so happy. When I went home to Ari’s house I felt so good and happy that I was finally in America.
