What is the history behind my family?


An artifact I chose to research more about was a picture of my grandmother. I chose this picture
because my grandmother is a very influential and important person in my life. She has gone
through many struggles and has become the strong woman she is today. I feel that she gives
great advice and has always found a way to survive even in her moments of tragedy and etc.
Some questions I would have for her in an interview based on this photo would be questions
about her migration journey and living in America. This includes; What led you to migrate from
Mexico to America? Was it difficult adapting to a new culture? What struggles did you face
moving here? How was it attempting to make a living in america? #migration #acculturation
#mexico #language #struggles. To be more specific, I hope to potentially interview my
grandmother (Maria Munoz) and my mother (Herlinda Moreno) as well. The reason for this
is because I would like to get input from both the immigrant parent and the child of the immigrant.
They both face the same struggles since they are family so I think it would be great to get the
input from both sides. Some questions I would ask my mother is; Did you notice a difference in
your lifestyle due to your parents being immigrants? How have you identified with your culture
since you grew up in America? Was it difficult having to learn two languages in order to
communicate with your family and peers?
