Imagine the bravery of that young girl starting a new life in a foreign land! Have you ever heard any immigration stories in your family?

That’s such an inspiring story! The courage it must have taken is incredible. My family doesn’t have any immigration stories, but I always find them fascinating and full of hope.

Woah! Are you serious? Was she alone? I wonder what her story was like. I mean, why did she go to Ellis Island?

Wow, that's such an interesting piece of history! The first person processed at Ellis Island being a 15-year-old girl from Ireland really highlights how many young immigrants were seeking new opportunities. It’s amazing to think about all the stories and dreams that passed through those gates. Have you ever looked into more historical facts about Ellis Island?
