Dear Family,

            I have completed my journey to America and am writing this letter to you all from New York.  There are so many people here, mostly like my self, immigrants; though I am not sure where they are from, they seem friendly. I love it here. The challenges so far have been to find people with my language, the diet change, and finding a job.

            Though there are many who do not speak the same language as me I have found a small group who does, they are very nice and helpful to me and have accepted me very graciously. American food is different then I was expecting and even though it is not as good as yours mom, it is not awful, as far as job the small group that I was talking about has helped me get small job as a clerk, it is not a ton of money but it will work for now.

            Even through some of the hardship I am so happy I decided to make the decision to come to America, I see the true Americans and look at them with such aw, it makes me want to be an American too, at least as much as I can be. I hope the day comes when you all make the journey too so you van enjoy this beautiful country as much as I have, I will try to write to you as much as I can.

                                                            Sincerely,

                                                                       Battle B
