Introduction
For my WeSearch project I decided to research my dad Phil Dieudonne. The reason I decided to research him is because I have heard stories about his past but I wasn't very familiar with it. I was hoping for this project that I could get closer with my dad and be able to understand him better through his life story. For this project I interviewed my mom Dana Dieudonne and my dad Phil Dieudonne. For this project I mainly focused on his childhood so I could understand his mindset when he was my age. Two new things I learned about my dad is when he was younger he moved around in many places also, school life in the begging was kind of hard for him since he didn't now how to speak English.
