K6's Childhood Interview

At 10:55AM – 11:10AM, I had the privilege of interviewing K6 regarding the topic of “Where did you grow up?” K6 had a very interesting childhood. She grew up in Miami, but her family was born and raised in Nicaragua. K6 lived in an apartment as a child, so she had very limited play-space at home. A lot of her childhood revolved around taking care and teaching her younger brother, who is three years younger than she is. She devoted most of her time into her little brother, so he became her best friend as well as her younger sibling. According to K6, one of her most memorable childhood moments was when she was left in charge of babysitting her three-month old cousin when she was merely eight years old. Ever since K6 was twelve years old, she’s been interested in pursuing a career in criminal justice. As a child, she was influenced by films such as “Legally Blonde,” which is a movie that I personally enjoy, and I believe that a lot of people under-rate it, I might add. Although her parents were not too excited when K6 informed them of her career idea, they supported her with her decision. Until this day, K6 is still in pursuit of her degree in criminal justice. K6 said that her childhood life would have been extremely different if she would’ve grown up in Nicaragua like her parents did. I can understand where she’s coming from, seeing as I was born in a similar, third-world Latin country as well. As a hobby, K6 liked to sow on her spare time. She only had three Barbie dolls when she was a little girl and usually the doll’s clothes would get old or dirty, so instead of purchasing new ones, she would spend time sowing a new, custom-made attire for her dolls. Interviewing K6 had a very beneficial influence toward the development of my research toward my project.
