The queen Mary (ship)
My family came to America because of a job opportunity that my father had. Normally my father might have ignored this but he was out of a job (I think), and we were flat broke. My mum slowly warmed me and my brother up to leave home without properly telling us until a bit before we left for a new life in America. My father wasn't there to support my mum at this time because he had left before to get us all set up in America. We took a boat to America because my mum asked me and my brother which we would like to take and us being kids we thought a boat was cool, so we took that.
In arrival I was a bit scared because all the buildings were so different from the ones back home and a wasn't sure about how i would like the new home but once we got there i was very happy because me and my brother had a cool new room, I had Star Wars bed sheets and my brother had classic baby ones. Adjusting wasn't too hard because all I did when I was in England was walk around parks and watch tv so i just continued that. My brother has always been a bit of a nationalist, so he was upset even though he was 2.
