Figure 2 is a photo of my grandparents on my mom’s side at my grandma’s high school prom in 1958. In our interview, my grandma stated, “I wore a gown that I re-used from a wedding. We were a poor immigrant family, so it was really hard to go out and buy something new” (Giorgi, n.p.). Her dress has a sweetheart neckline with a full skirt at ballerina length. The sweetheart neckline became popular in 1940s evening wear, but was still used in the 50s. Farrell-Beck and Parsons discussion on 50s…

I felt that way that did not mean I was going to be treated like an adult. Now that I am 18 the legal age to be considered an adult. I can honestly say that a lot changed but at the same time nothing has really changed because my parents and grandparents still treat me like I am 8 years old in some ways.

That year, my class took a fascinating field trip of which I wanted to share with my Grandparents. The trip to Sacramento went smoothly, changing lanes and getting off of the correct exit. Once we were in the city was when the confusion went to full volume. Not knowing the layout of the city, I focused on the general direction of the…

started to gather our carry ons, getting ready to head off of the plane. “I’m so excited!” she exclaimed, “This is our first time traveling across the country. This is going to be the best Thanksgiving!” All of our family-aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents- gather each year for a giant Thanksgiving. My parents have been to Utah many times for separate occasions. They told us stories about all the ski mountains, the nature, the deer and elk, and the tourist attractions. We lived in Ohio,…

I believe that all people are good at heart. Sometimes, it can be easy to watch the news, and start to believe that the world is full of “dreadful” people. These criminals are dehumanized when we hear about them doing awful things in the news that may not be true. Those criminals that are mentioned might not necessarily be awful people either.
