It was interesting to find out about what different generations in my family would do and how they lived when they were younger. Doing this project helped me realize how important it is to know about your family’s background.
Reflecting on these project I appreciate the opportunity to have conversations about my background with my loved ones that I would not usually have. This project has afforded me the pleasure of learning new and interesting facts about the Allen family.
