I decided to post questions that you jotted during my "Me Bag" presentation. Feel free to post a comment if you have further questions.
Why do you like making jewelry?
I love jewelry! Using beads gives me the opportunity to explore different color schemes.
How did you learn to make necklaces? Do you like making different types of jewelry?
I have a friend who is an expert at making jewelry. She used How-to books and went to workshops to learn how to make necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. I was amazed by her work, so I asked her to teach me. In my opinion, bracelets are the easiest to make, so I love to make them the most.
Is the hat made out of paper?
The hat is called a gele or head-tie in Nigeria. It is made of Damask which is a fabric made of silk, cotton, wool. linen, or synthetic fiber.
When did your grandpa learn how to make masks?
He was taught as a young boy by my great-grandpa who also carved masks.
Have you ever been to Nigeria? How many relatives live in Nigeria?
I have not visited Nigeria yet. I am looking forward to going soon since I have plenty of family members who live there. My family is massive since Nigerians have big families. I probably have about 100 or more family members who live there.
Do you speak Nigerian at home?
I do not speak my family dialect fluently, but I can understand common words. Nigerian is not a language. However, the number of dialects in Nigeria is over 500! Dialects are varieties of languages. The official language is English. Other major languages are Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.
Where are you getting married?
I will have a local wedding in Montgomery County.
Could I be your best man?
My fiance is choosing his best friend to be his best man. I am flattered that you want to be a part of my special day!
Can I be your flower girl, bridesmaid, or maid of honor?
My cousins from Chicago will be flower girls. My sisters will be the bridesmaids and one will be the maid of honor. Again, I am so honored that you want to be a part of my special moment!
What pool do you go to?
I usually go to pools in Germantown.
Are you good at swimming?
I am not the strongest swimmer, but I can do the basics.
How did you get on the Washington Post?
Reporters from the Washington Post came to our school last year for the 5th grade Promotion ceremony. They wanted to learn more about it, so they interviewed students, teachers, and parents. Their photographers also took several pictures. Surprisingly, I was on the front page with one of my students! What a memorable moment!
Why do you like the Redskins? Do you like other football teams?
I love all Washington hometeams. Redskins, Capitals, Nationals, Wizards, and D.C. United. I tolerate other football teams, but I only love my Skins!
