I learned lots and lots of new things about Ellis and Angel island from these projects. Before this I had no idea how diverse Ellis island. I never knew about the harsh examination they gave people and how hard it was to be accepted into America. I also learned a lot about Angel Island. Before this I had barley any previous knowledge about Angel Island. I pretty much only knew that it existed. So learning about it was very interesting. I learned that the majority of people who went through Angel Island were mostly Asian. I also learned that it was off of California. It was very interesting to learn about this because it was a new topic to me. I do wish I could have learned about the life after Ellis and Angel Island also more stories about the people who came through these islands and if any of my family came here through Ellis or Angel Island.
