Hello! My name is Irene and I am a part of Oxford Academy's graduating class of 2024. My life has been shaped by the overloading love and influence of my family. Recently, as I listened to the fun and emotional tales shared by my aunts and uncles about their childhood, I realized the great value these stories hold. Inspired to preserve these treasures, I reached out to the elders in my community—whether at church, through volunteering, or within the circle of family friends. Through heartfelt interviews, my mission became to share these cherished stories with the world.
