Social Studies Writing

In London, the year is 1850. I had a job but it didn't pay at all because i'm only a farmer. I shouldn't be having a job because i'm only 14 years of age, but i'm forced to work by my parents because they need help paying for things. If i haven't said already my name is John Will the second. My fathers name is John Will as well, my mothers name is Beth Will.

I have no education because of the lack of schools. Also in London the streets are cramped and the houses are small with only two rooms but my parents want to leave because all the diseases that are killing thousands of people across London. My family and I are looking to move to New Zealand, since we heard that it's a nice place to live.

So we packed our bags to get on the boat, after being on the boat for a bit, we felt a bit sick but we handled it for about a hundred days but it was a struggle, we got hungry a lot but there was little to no food left because of the amount of days we had been on the ship. Once we arrived in New Zealand. We grabbed our bags and got greeted by people that we're very nice cared for our luggage. They walked us to their closest village, and showed us how they do things around here. We felt right at home here, My brother and I got to go to school to get an education. My parents got a job farming, I work there in the weekends to help out. When we arrived we were very nervous.
