Interview reflection

In doing this interview on an immigrant in which I chose my mom ,I learned so much about her that she never told me and my sisters. I realized there is so many moments of her life she was a able to tell me like her feelings on moments such as her first day of school. I was able to see why my mom is so strong willed in teaching me and my siblings ,and understand why she continues to instill the importance of education in us. She did not have the same opportunities I did and she doesn't want me to make the same mistakes.

The most interesting part of the interview for me was my mom telling me she has always wanted to be a flight attendant. I've never thought to ask my mom that,mainly because i thought she always wanted to work in the bank.I also found out she hated the bank at first, or that she sold vacuum cleaners on the phone for her job.There were so many things I found out by doing this interview that I'm glad I did. As a kid/teenager you don't really understand why your parents to some of the things they do. Sometimes we may think their being harsh or hard on us but everything they do their teaching you. Lastly doing this interview showed me that me along with regular people these days take things like safety ,jobs opportunities and health-care for granted. I'm fortunate that my mother was able to immigrate to Canada which is why I'm here today. I'm grateful for what I have and what i am able to become career wise because I have the resources available to me.

Overall doing this interview gave me a lot of insight into being in the shoes of an immigrant, and what differences there are with someone like me who was born here. It was was a great experience that I really enjoyed doing.
