The Panama Canal.

Building The Panama Canal has been harder than expected. I go every single day to work very tired and weak. All i seem to see lately are very sick workers who suddenly die from diseases. I even think i am coming down with something because my energy level has extremely gone down. Another thing that does not help us workers out is the horrid climate. We work as hard as we can for many long hours under the hot and humid weather. I try to avoid thinking about death, although it is a possibility for all of us really, because our lives are put in danger every day. The main reason all of us do this hard labor is for the money. It is not much, but it sustains. I wake up and work, eat very little and in addition only get a few hours of sleep. It is not the life i want and i dread thinking that i might not survive this.
