Answer:

I am an italian immigrant in hopes of finding a better life in America. I fled from Italy because of the struggles of living in impoverished land and the violence that grew rapidly in my area. I have just arrived 2 days ago after a long and dreadful voyage. As soon as I arrived I was interrogated by 2 man who look like they're some sort if officers then i was taken to this area where I was checked to see if i was infected with anything. Luckily they said i was good to go and after 10 hours of anxiously waiting I was able to make it to NYC. I am not used to the bustling city life that was seen and I was lost for hours and when I tried to ask fire help with some new English words I picked up they ignored me. I met this 1 guy who said he'd help for money so I gave him the money I brought with me and he said he would get a cab for us and he just left me stranded there for hours! Maybe he's still trying to find me a cabi? As it was getting dark and the streets were filled with a bunch of scary looking people, I met 2 italian women who took me in to live with them in this tiny poor apartment with 2 other Italian families, it's damp, dark, and cold in here and my bed is just a wooden plank with a sheet which sucks and I very much prefer the house I lived in back in Italy. Yesterday, one of the ladies I was living with was able to get me a job as a construction worker/house maids (Work based on gender due to strict gender roles). It's hard work and the people I work for are very rude and hostile towards me and I dont know why- maybe I did something wrong or offended them in some way? I get payed very little but it's a start and as of now I'm saving up in hopes of being able to bring my siblings over here so they can join me and pursue a better life for generations to come!
