yellow house



        My grandparent’s moved into their house 1971, from Fort Worth, Texas.  They moved to Louisiana with hopes of a better and cheaper life. The house has pictures of three different generations, so it allows me to see and appreciate how far our family has come. The house itself instills citizenship because it allows me to understand the history of my family and how they contributed their small amount to this country. I remember sitting around and just talking for hours about how much life has changed since my grandfather was a child, and I loved just listening to some of their stories about their past. For instance although slavery had been over for a while, my grandparents would tell us about the sharecropping they had to do and the little money they would earn for their long days work. Or they would tell us about the times where they were not allowed to go to certain restaurants or public areas because they were African American.  Although these are not the ideal stories a child should learn about their grandparents, I feel that it just made me more grateful for what I have in my own life.
