Recently Abdul Habib Shakoor, 14 and his dad Abdul Shakoor, 59 were invited to the StoryCorps booth by their friend Gholam Alizzadeh (the gentleman standing in the photo explaining the StoryCorps process to them). Alizzadeh felt the Shakoors had an important story to share. They immigrated to San Diego from Afghanistan last year. During their conversation, Abdul Habib, who speaks very little English, asked his dad a series of questions in one of Afghanistan’s main dialects, Farsi. For the most part, Abdul Habib’s dad replied with short answers, except for one question near the end which he animatedly responded to at length. After the interview, we asked Abdul Habib what he’d asked his dad. He replied, “I asked him if he was proud of me.”
