“Coffee. Double-double,” was the response.
Outside the window, the man saw a group of schoolchildren frolicking about and was immediately reminded of his own childhood. What struggles and hardships had it been filled with! The man, whose name was Henry, was born in a quiet town consisting only of a few families. His parents worked diligently on the farm, earned a couple of bills, and supported their two sons as much as they could. Henry had been determined to stand out from his anonymous hometown. Although he was always compared to his older brother, who surpassed him in all ways, Henry had that drive to be someone worthy of praise and respect. His brother was somewhat of a show-off, a people pleaser, an overly confident young man who, to Henry’s discontent, seemed to have immense talents in everything.

I gathered my information from Dunkin’ Donuts shop on the Third Avenue. Dunkin’ Donuts is one of the largest coffee shop chains in the world. I chose this because it is close to our house. When I first walked into the shop, I heard Chainsmokers’ Closer song. It was also a quiet place sometimes where you could just sit and relax. It is a small place with limited seats. There were only three small tables and a long table. The place is air-conditioned, so it is cold. There is also free Wi-Fi, so the customers will not get bored while they are waiting in line or drinking their coffee. There is also a Baskin-Robbins inside the store, so it is not only a coffee shop but also an ice cream shop. I wanted to interview one of the staff, but they were busy. I ended up interviewing an old woman because she was sitting with me since there were limited seats. She is 71 years old and originally from Mexico. She was 23 years old when she moved here. She is married to a Mexican too and they had three children.
