Interview with Maria Geneva Reyes, Interview by Weisley Wong

                                                         

Introduction:      

  My friend, Maria Geneva Reyes, was brought to America from the Philippines during her early childhood. When Geneva first arrived she had to adjust to the new life she had here. During our interview, I asked questions that were used to compare the experiences Geneva had to the many other stories of Filipino immigrants. She told me about the interesting stories that took place when she first came here and it also helped me create a closer bond with Geneva during the interview.
