Response to Interview Project

For the latest project I decided to interview my dad, who immigrated from Australia; it's an aspect of my family history that I don't really know that much about, and it was amazing to hear the reasons that drove him out of his home country as well as what it was like when he first arrived. Doing this project answered a lot of questions not just about my family and how it came together, but why my dad is the way he is. During this project there were some moments where my Dad would answer with only one word and not go into the details(which is why I did not know that much before this project.) But after more questions I was finally able to gain all the details and gain a better sense of my family and the experience of an immigrant who has just arrived in a country that is not his one, where the customs and even the streets are alien to him. It is a terrifying process and one that takes bravery that I admire.
