When you talk to your teacher do you try to keep eye contact? Well in Kenya that’s considered rude, I know crazy right! This was just one of the challenges Irene had to face when moving to the U.S. One of Irene's favorite best childhood memories was christmas. In Kenya christmas is all about family coming together. It goes from the 20th of December to the 2nd of January. Some traditions on christmas time are getting new dresses and drinking a lot of soda. She lived in a solid brick building sort of like an apartment here in America. According to Irene it was a very loud household with usually around 10 kids on the house at a time. She had two brothers and 2 sisters, so the other kids in her house were her cousins.
