    The person that I am interviewing in one of my family members which is my grandmother Yolanda Garcia. 1: How old are you: She is 62 years old.
    2: How many children did you have: She is the mother of 5 daughters. 3: How many years have you been married: She's been married for 49 years. 4: Who was your first boyfriend: Her first boyfriend is Jesus Garcia. 5: Where were you born: She was born in a little town named Agualulco del Mercado Jalisco. for about 25 years then She came to California.
    6: How many brothers and sisters do you have: She was the 4th child of 14 children that her mom had, she has 7 brothers and 7 sisters but one of her brothers passed away when he was 2 years old. 7: Did you attend school: She was not allowed to attend school because her parents could not afford school and she needed to take care of her younger brothers and sisters.
    8: What was the hardest lesson you learned as a child: The hardest lesson was that is she did not clean or cook she was punished and sometimes the punishement were bad that she got bruses on her legs or back(She began to cry because these memorries were not a good thing to remember).
    9. Why were you beaten: Because thats how my parents were raised and they taught that was the best thing to do(por stupideses mija). 10: What made you move on and be a better person to your daughters: She said that when she met her husband everything changed he is the best thing that could have happened to her.( Es tu papi chuy que me saco de ayi). 11. Did you had a better life when you left: she said that she did thanks to papi chuy and that she thankful and that he took her away and that they live happy on Los Angeles with there daughters.

    What i learn about my grandmother was that in old times its was way different then it is now and that the community wouldn't do anything to help familys. I was preety surprise when my grandmother said that she was beaten. If i had more time to ask her i would ask her "if she was a child again would she would like to change it or do something about it". What was interesting about my grandmother was that old time was hard and that my grandmother survived it because most people didn't.

    The most influential part of what makes me is my parents because they taught me so many things. The things are being a helpful person,being kind to people,being nice,be respectful, also other tings. But they taught me all of those when i was a little kid. I was 6 or 7 years old when i learned from them.

    I think that the most influential element a person can have is their parents because their parents can show them many things they didn't know and they can tell them how hard it could be to live life. The things that make me are being a funny person, helping my parents and grandparents, playing soccer because I love it, and being able to love the people that love me. I help my parents a lot because I show them how much I appreciate them and care about them because once they pass on I won't have nobody their for me.

    The most influential part that a person can have are family and friends because the person can learn out of them on what's good or bad. In my opinion I think everyone learns from one another out of their identity, personalities, anything really.

    The most influential part in my character is probably to anyone that has came to my life. I learn and respect people of who they are. I influence my main people that came to my life, my mom and dad. Without out my parents, I probably wouldn't had a personalty or an identity. My parents and friends that I live and love for life, my identity will live forever.

    The most influential part that a person can have is your family especially my parents but mostly my mom because she showed me to respect other and appreciate what others have done for me and appreciate what I have. I am proud to have a mom like her. Without my mom I wouldn't be who I am now.

    I think that everyone can learn from one another by their personality, or expressions. You can learn from your family or friends either if it's good or bad.

    JAZMIN: You didn't do the first week entry, so you can't turn in the extra credit until that is taken care of. Also, you do need to print it out (the extra credit) to turn in on Monday.

    1. The most influential element of a person should consist of family and relatives because before a child is born there is a parent of the child and before the parents are born there is the grandparents, so it keeps going to the first generation of the family. So i should be thankful of all my family because if it wasn't for my family i wouldn't be existing right now and it is not only your parents care about you people closer to you care too.The thing that makes me, me, are my personalities, my life, my characters,and the kind of person i am and what i make of myself.

    The most influential thing i think that makes a person is the people that you are around you are part of a group and you are like them also the family forms you and helps you while you grow up but at the end of the day your the one that decides who your gonna be it is a test of how mush you can resist being like others you are whoever you wanna be you should listen to your family because they want the best to you even tho the friends are the most influential some times they are only with you in time of light but in darkness your family is the only ones their
