The interview I had with my grandmother was extremely inspirational and shed light on some of the experiences my grandmother went through that I never knew about. Before the interview, I had some sort of an idea of what her life was like due to the countless stories that my mother would tell me about my grandmother but, it wasn’t until I was able to sit down face-to-face with my grandmother that I finally understood what that time in her life was like.
