Personal Narrative: My Interview With My Father Eric Wright

Decent Essays
I interviewed my dad Eric Wright, at my home in Panama City Beach Florida, on the 19th of November, I was doing my project for The Great Thanksgiving Listen. I asked him about his childhood, his jobs, and his parents. I learned that my dad had very good childhood memories with his parents and siblings. I learned that his Grandfather had a farm they used to go to after school, and that he had to work on the farm also sometimes in the summer. This interview was special because I don’t normally get to have one on one conversation =with my dad. Interviewing him made us have quality time together. With all of the chaos going on in my family right now I’m happy that me and my dad actually got to talk even if it was for a school project. From
