Interviewing a Classmate

In class we were instructed to interview one of our classmates in order to learn more about their backgrounds. I interviewed Kevin about his different language and cultural ways. Kevin and his parents are from Illinois but his grandparents are originally from Ireland and Italy. He does not know any fluent languages that relate to his culture but he does remember growing up and having his grandparents interact with him in Italian. They taught him a few words as he got older but he never stuck to it or was ever determined to learn more. Kevin and his parents/family interact at home and in public speaking English. Growing up, Kevin also remember being involved with the Irish culture. He has been celebrating St. Patricks Day almost every year. Although Kevin is not very based with his culture/language, he still celebrates and continues to represent where his generations are from.
