Hello, My name is Cornelia and I want to tell you about my life in New Netherlands. So it all started with my mom. She was wanting to come to New Amsterdam to build her new life and her new bakery. Thereason why my mom left Holland is because she did not have a enough money so she get a job in a bakery. But one day the owner was sick of her job so she gave it to my mom and my mom was so happy. So one day this guy came in my mom’s bakery and said “Hallo, can i got some bread?” So she said, “Ja. Anything else?” The guy said,” no but thanks.” So she got the bread. He paid for it and left. He came back every day. And they got married and had me and broer. My dad is a blacksmith and me and my broer help my mom in the bakery.

I live in a two story home on the edge of New Amsterdam. I live right next to a windmill. I love living right next to a windmill because it’s easier to get the grains and I like watching it turn at night. I love living in new Amsterdam. I know everyone in town because they all come to the bakery.
