Back to the roots

Introduction:
This interpretation of family history fits squarely with the view that all family history is contextual, i.e., it cannot be viewed in isolation or separated from its historical framework. At its root, genealogy satisfies basic human curiosity. It summarizes the questions of the past, the present and a look of what will shape the future.

For this assignment, it really brought out back to the root, Sharon and I are in a group of two, we called our parents, and did researches about our family root. We were kinda surprise after knowing our family history, and for me, my mum barely talk about her family history therefore when I called her and talked to her about the assignment, this is the first time she told me every single detail of her family, I was very amazed with the life that my mum and her family had gone through, it was a truly interesting story indeed.
After 2 hours talk, I summarize what my mum had told me and started to draft out for the info graphic poster.
Even though Sharon’s side was chosen in the end, I am really grateful for this assignment because I had finally get to know more about my family’s history, knowing all these information build the bond of our family stronger.
