<Lucas> but his 2 brothers died at war. 1 was killed when he was defusing mines.
<A-EpiS> But your grandmother survived life with the nazis
<Lucas> and the other died when he was throwing a granade at the d*mn Nazis
<Lucas> they had a hard life
<Lucas> sprry about the last bad word
<Lucas> I just feel sad for my grandparent, he lost his two brothers when he was young. It was hard for him
* Chris is now known as _Julie
<_Julie> hi,evryone
<_Beatriz> 12Hi Julie!
<A-EpiS> Hi Julie
<_Beatriz> OOoO your late!
<_Julie> i know i was in the bathroom
<_Beatriz> 12for that long huh?
<Lucas> My grandparents ended their education at 4th grade
<_Beatriz> why so early lucas?
<Lucas> It was very hard to attend school when you have little money.
<_Julie> How come education had to be paid for?
<Lucas> When you have little money, you have to go to work at young age by doing farm work.
<A-EpiS> They lived on a farm?
<Lucas> Yes.
<A-EpiS> Are they still living?
<katty> My father also worked at a very young age and couldn't go to school.
<Lucas> Yes. However my grandfather has some kidney problems.
<A-Bev> Katty, where did he live? In which country?
<katty> He lived in Ecuador
<A-EpiS> And your mother?
<katty> He lived with his grandmother because his mom came to the United States
<katty> she also lived in the U.S. but she studied 
<katty> more than he did
<Lucas> Was Ecuador involved in any wars?
<A-EpiS> Did you meet your grandmother from Ecuador?
<katty> Yes with Peru but I don't much about it 
<katty> No I never met my grandmother
<Lucas> Were they fighting for land?
<katty> Yes
<_Julie> are they still fighting today?
<Lucas> It was more like this during WW2. They fought for more power since more land = more power.
<A-Bev> Peru and Ecuador are right next to each other.  They is a dispute about the boundary lines.
<A-Bev> There is a dispute.
<A-EpiS> Yes, that is what I read
<katty> She studied all the way through college
<Lucas> here did your mother study?
<katty> and she became an architect
<Lucas> How did this affect you?
<Lucas> Are you planning on going to college?
* A-Bev is now known as Julie
<katty> Yes i'm planning to go to college
* _Julie is now known as A-Bev
<Julie> What grade are you guys in

<Lucas> omg Katty?
<A-EpiS> Beatriz 
<katty> ignore that comment sorry
<_Beatriz> 12Yes
<A-EpiS> what about your grand parents,where did they lived?
<Lucas> Beatriz why don't you tell us more about your family?
<_Beatriz> 12because I don't like talking about my family
<_Beatriz> My grandparents lived in Mexico
<Lucas> It is not a shame. You should speak freely about your blood.
<_Beatriz> 12I didn't say I was ashamed I just don't like talking about my family thats all
<A-EpiS> Beatriz it's ok 
<Lucas> What do you think life is like in Mexico?
<Julie> do you have any  brothers and sisters?
<_Beatriz> 12Yeah i have 1 older sister and 3 brothers
<A-EpiS> I have go to Mexico and live there
<A-EpiS> I liked it
<Lucas> Beatriz how is your sister doing?
<Julie> beatriz  have you ever been to mexico
<katty> 10How is life over in Mexico?
<_Beatriz> 12She's good, struggling with her two kids but she's fine
<_Beatriz> I've been to Mexico twice
<A-Bev> Did your sister go to college?
<Julie> I want to go to cancun mexico or acapulco
<_Beatriz> 12She's still taking some classes, she has 1 year left
<Lucas> I want to the beaches in Cancun.
<A-Bev> An education is very important!
<Lucas> Why doesnt Julie tell us about her family?
<A-EpiS> Julie?
<Julie> my granparents are from dominican republic and my parents too
<A-EpiS> we want to know stories from 100 years ago
<A-EpiS> Julie have you been to the Dom Rep?
<Lucas> I can recall a story from a story from 100 years ago.
<Julie>  I have gone there to visit a lot of times.
<Lucas> My grandmother always said that education more more tougher. It was because teachers would slap you with a stick on the wrist.
<Julie> My parents have told me that my grandparents belived school was better back then because the children concentrate more. 
<A-EpiS> Julie do you have a story about how was life in your grandparents days?
<Lucas> If you did something wrong you would be punished. This is what we call corporal punishment and it was allowed.
<katty> I believe many kids now a days take education for granted
<Julie> They concentrated more becuase there was no T.V or PS2
<Lucas> Yes they do. People should be happy to go to school everyday.
<Lucas> People should be happy that they have shoes on their feet.
<katty> Thta's true
<Julie> When my grandparents lived they had to take their own chairs to school.
* _Beatriz has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
