”Yeah it would hurt, va doler verdad?”

Why my sister let me do this with he, I don’t know (I think it’s because I paid her $20) But this interview is us talking about her perspective on what we went through together. All I can say was that it was very different from mine. Most of the time she was a bit shy but sometimes she opened up. This caused me to learn more about her.

She is a small child that sees the world differently than I do.  I think that she didn’t really talk a lot but she still opened up more than normal. We gave a brief summary of our life together and some of the major events that are important to us. We as a family can also have different opinions on the same situation.
