This storytelling is a collaborative product made by the students during a student webinar on 14 April 2022.

Last weekend I visited my grandmother. We did so much together and I found out some secrets..

We went up to the attic and ...

We found my granny's chest. 

When she opened it, 

she saw her old dress. Then she remembered that...

...her dress was a gift from her father. There was a time, when she was young and beautiful. She only wore it on Sundays for going to church, because her family didn´t have the money for more than one dress. It was a traditional dress which was red and embroidered. There were flowers on it. As the dress was her birthday present, when she was young, she used to wear it a lot... Nowadays people don't wear dresses with these details. It was very nice... Her father bought it when he was in Germany for jobs... Her father bought it for her wedding.. He wanted her daughter to have everything.. Her father was always in trips and he was meeting her husband time a year.. She loved it.. When she wore it during a  traditional dance from Turkey, from Eagean region (it was called çökertme), she met my grandfather ..He couldn't believe in his eyes...she was so beautiful

Then my granny saw her scarf and she remembered that...

...the scarf was a gift from my grandfather.He gave her when they were young and were first dating.She used to wear it  all the time. It was a yellow scarf with white and light blue blurs. My grand father bought the scarf when he went to Gerrmany for a trip.It was so beautiful that  he bought it with no doubt. My grandmother loved it...

She also found an old book. As my granny said...

The book was her diary. When she started reading it, her eyes filled with tears, because she was remembering the memories and it was all good memories. First she remembered her old toy, it was a doll made out of wood even it is from wood it was so cute and perfect.That was a child's book from her childhood her mother used to read it to her to help her fall asleep.  She remembered her happy old days and how she played with her friends. It was their family memory books. It was her favorite book  when she was a young lady. She started to explain its plot. It was about a girl travelling the world. She said she always wished to be a girl like the girl from this book. She  cried sometimes . It was her first textbook. She was excited and began to flip through it. It was the book she learned to read.

 When she was telling me the story she cried... She was missing a lot her family. After the wedding they went to another town and she never saw her parents again.
