Mrs. Timmer’s story is how she and her family had a very nice life in the Netherlands. They had a very nice house and plenty of money. But her dad wanted to have an adventure and so he said that they were going to move to the United States. They had to sell all their toys except for one, she brought a doll. They packed all their clothes. They had 7 suitcases for the whole family. They travelled on a large ship and her father was sea sick for most of the time. She was sick for a while but then she got used to the boat and wasn’t sick anymore. Once they made it to shore, the sailors unloaded all their luggage. But the people were not careful when they unloaded. The crate that held their suitcases hit the side of the boat and the bottom fell out. Most of their belongings fell into the ocean and was gone. The boat owners paid her dad some money so they had to buy new belongings in the United States.
I think this is important because her story is a very cool story and I think people should see what some people are going through to get to the USA. I also would think that we could help them. We need to give people that are in a different country a chance to get here and welcome them to the United States. We can help them have a safe place to come to.
I think that I should be happy with what I have and not complain about things. Mrs. Timmer moved miles away from their family with only seven suitcases and then she lost some of her luggage. So I am not going to fuss about as much things and possessions. They would be happy with what we have and say we are very blessed. I know I am blessed too.
