~ A PIECE OF MY LIFE ~
It was one of the best times of my
Today I interviewed to my grandma and one
of the most interesting things is that, during
the interview, she said that she had so many
jobs and she said that she had lots of
interesting stories to tell me too. So, let’s start.
-In what jobs have you worked on?
-I worked in Telefónica, in a jeans factory, in
a cookie factory, seamstress and caretaker at
the Clynic hospital from Valencia.
-Oh, that’s a lot, and what was your favourite?
-The Telefónica one becouse when I finished
my studies with 14 years, I had to leave the
school to help my parents and my sisters, so
when I started to win money I was so proud of
myself.Also becouse I love talking with
people and that was one of the most important
things on that job.
Then I asked her what was the worst one and
she was indecisive becouse she sais she liked
all of them, but then she decided for the
seamstress one becouse she said that she was
so much time sitting and that hurted her back.
-Why you moved to Germany?
-I left my job in Teléfonica becouse there was
an offert for spanish people to work in a
cookie factory there, so when I turned 18
years old (that in fact my birthday was the
same day of the train ride) my sister (16 years
olded) came with me to Germany to help our
family becouse there you won more money
that in Spain.
-And how difficult were the first days?
-A lot becouse I was so young, I didn’t
understand the lenguage and I was in charge of
my little sister. The food was so different too, but
then I used to it and loved it.
-Did you were happy when you moved to
Germany?
-At first not at all, but then yes becouse I made
lots of friends, people was so kind and I won lot
of money.
life. The only negative thing was being
distanced from the people I most loved.
-How match difficult was taking care about
your sister?
-A lot becouse I had to be all time taking care
of her, specially at nights becouse there was a
time that she had lots of colics. Then at 17,
she met a boy that later married her and it’s
steal beeing her actual husband.
-When you were at Germany, when did you
saw your family?
-I saw them one time for year, in Christmas.
This was so hard becouse you weren’t with
your family or friendson another important
days like birthdays etc.
-You were there some years so can you tell
any interesting stories?
-Of course I have lots of stories but I’m going
to tell the most impressive.
One day I was sleeping and I heart a lot of
noises. Next day they had builted the Berlin
wall. This was so hard to all people but one of
the most affected person I knew was my boss
becouse her sons got stuck at the other side of
the wall and they weren’t allowed to return.
Anyways, I lived many anecdotes there but I
think this is the most curious.
-I hope your old boss sons are well but is time
for the last question, when did you returned to
Spain?
-With 22 years old I decided to return becouse
I wanted to see more my family and friends
and then at 23 I got married with my actual
husband.
Contrary, my sister and my brother-in-law
stayed there for 13 years.
I loved having done this interview to my
grandmother, she told me many things that I
didn’t knew but it’s time to finish the
interview, I hope you liked it.
