Oral History Project

                  I thought the oral history project was a very fun and informative activity. First off, it gave me a chance to speak with my uncle and learn more about him. I've never gotten a chance to actually sit down and listen to the challenges he had encountered. I was surprised with the stories he told me because I never knew that this care-free and fun loving uncle had been through so much. Yet, he goes by life with such a bright smile and great confidence. Aside from learning more about my uncle, listening to the immigration stories of other people was also interesting. I was able to hear compare and contrast the experiences of these immigrants. I came to realize that even though two immigrants might come from the same country, their stories can actually be far from similar. Each of the several experiences told in class had its own ups and downs, which makes the entire topic of immigration so much more intriguing.
