I had always wanted to write my family's history.

​

And not just to skim the surface of names, dates, and ages, but to learn what made them love and laugh and cry. So I sat with my grandparents and flipped through photo albums and newspaper clippings and scrapbooks. I read the old journals my Great Great Grandmother wrote and even watched old 16mm footage my Great Grandmother took. 

​

I filled a notebook with 5 generations of stories that mark the moments and memories of other peoples' lives.

It is the thing I am most proud of.
