Personal Narrative: My Trip To Ellis Island

Today was a special day where my family and I was packing our bags to go to America or at least I hope. My heart was racing and my mind couldn't keep up with all the things going on inside my mind. I can't wait to get to America. I'm just thinking about all the things I could be able to do. We had one last breakfast together and it was the best meal that I had all year.

She asked,” What was that for?” “My family gives each other hugs when we are feeling down.” All of a sudden she said,” Well don't do that again.” I apologized. She started walking back to her spot where her and her brother was sitting. And that was all I heard from them until the next couple
