While interviewing my aunt Ina I learned a lot of things about

my family that I have never known before. For example I learned
that most of our family has cut fruit as a profession, also we were
into sports a lot. Also Ina had a very interesting childhood, along
with her other siblings. She seemed most interested in talking
about what she did in school, like the styles there were and what
she did for fun. Many things have been uncovered about my
family that I never would have thought to be real.
