My grandmother

I decided to interview my grandmother who was born on March 30, 1929 in Puerto Rico. My grandmothers life was not an easy one, she had many struggles. My grandmother was raised in what we call "campo" which is like a country woody area. She attended school for only a year which means she only completed first grade. She never learned how to read or write, the only thing she knows how to do is write her name and do math. As she explained to me her days were spent doing house work, feeding her animals, which were goats and chickens. She would walk to her locations and at times if her father had time he would drive her. Eventually, they moved into town in where things were a lot closer for her. She enjoyed planting and till this day she continues to plants her fruits and vegetables. She planted some pigeon pea plants and a banana tree in my backyard. My grandma still practices what she was taught while growing up, when she cooks she cooks only enough for those to eat. She hates to waste food, water and electricity. While living with me for a few months, she would wash her clothes in the washer but would hang them outside to dry, she would not watch TV during the day except at night to watch her soap operas. During the days she would go for walks or just hang out outside. My bring up is completely different from hers, I just go to the stores and get what I want, not like her who would have to raise her food. I did mention to her about our class and she just said that's great.
