During the process of creating the oral history project, including interviewing, I learned about my subject’s influential person and how was she being influenced. I saw things from her point of view to get the feeling she felt at the moment so that I could describe her feelings over the event. I also learned that there are many things for us to learn by only observing little events. They don't have to be big ones. Only an anecdote could change someone’s life. The influential person didn't have to directly affect us, but it could happen in a more indirect means. If I have more time to work on this project, I would like to interview more with my subject s o that I could write more details in it. If I can choose anyone as my subject, I would probably choose someone successful because I want to know what are the stories behind him/her that made him/her succeeded. Oral history is important because it is told by a person, instead of just being writing it our. By interviewing, we can know what was the subject’s attitude toward the event. We can also observe the subject’s feelings. I think in some ways it is like a memoir because it was being told by a person who thought about his/her past. It was mainly about the emotions and feelings instead of facts.
