The person that I chose to interview for this assignment was my mom, Annie Sequeira. I chose to interview my mom because I act like my mom in many ways, and I want to compare her high school experience to what mine will be. During my mom’s high school years, she was very focused on her education and wanted to receive a degree from college. But, most of the people in her village disagreed with her and thought that girls should not have to study or work; they would marry and become housewives. My mom’s family worked in the rice fields, and they thought that she should stay and help them with the farming; but, my mom wanted a better life, so she studied hard. My mom had a teacher and mentor, Mrs. Pimenta, who encouraged her during her high school years and gave her the important advice that an education would help her achieve a better life than farming. Even today, she is proud that she put a lot of effort into her high school education, because there is now a plaque with her name at her school which awards her for high academic distinction.
