Introduction:
For the Digital Oral History Project I chose to conduct an interview with my mother, Maria Louie. She was born in a small village in China and had immigrated with her family to Hong Kong at the age of 10. After a waiting period of two years, she and her family had immigrated to the United States and settled in with family whom were already were located within the Bay Area, specifically San Francisco. This interview reflects a mixture of her positive and negative experiences with immigrating to the United States. Maria's experiences of hardships, achievements, and dreams are relatable to the voices in Benito M. Vergara Jr.'s book, Pinoy Capital, that speaks up about the expectations, reality, and the sacrifices made in order to call the United States their "home".
