SELf assessment
From interviewing my Nana, Kathleeen Cowan, I learned a lot about my families immigration. I really had no idea about any of it other than that we immigrated from Ireland. I think it was funny that my great, great grandpa was only 5 feet 5 inches at his tallest and I am 16 and 5 foot 10 inches. It kind of explains how my Nana is so short though. I guess I got my height from the other side of the family. I learned that we came from Skibberean, which like I said is a popular tourist attraction now, hopefully I can go there some day. I learned where the alcoholism comes from in my family, it was trickled down many generations. I really didn't even know much about the potato famines until now. I didn't know that Ireland was controlled by England at the time either. My Nana was a great person to interview about my immigration because she had great knowledge on the subject, she could have gone on and on. Overall I loved doing this project, it was a great way for me to learn about where I came from!
