Before learning about Ellis Island and Angel Island i knew very little about them. I found out that mostly Germans came to America through Ellis Island and Asians mainly came to America through Angel Island. I was shocked how badly we treated them because of their differences. I was also shocked about how poorly they treated them when they had to be checked for diseases. I want to know why they humiliated them when being checked for an illness.
My family isn’t considered rich or poor, i’m middle class. My family does struggle when it comes to money, but we always find a way to put food on the table and clothes on our backs. Because money is always tight it taught me very valuable things like learning how to save my money, getting a good education is important, and you don’t need money to be happy.
