StoryCorps

When we were told to do this assignment I was not sure what to expect. First I did not know what the NPR was and why would they have stories about people. After my friend told me that the NPR stands for "National Public Radio" then it made more sense and I decided to listen to a conversation between Nick Shepard and his friend Hugh Ryan about Nick's first meeting with his biological father.

Their meeting was pretty casual and not what you would imaging from movies or TV. Something that intrigued me the most was one of the questions that Nick asked his father besides generic sickness or the reasons why he left; it was to take a picture of him. Even though Nick says he does not want his biological father in his live right now, he still took a picture of him. Also he declared that he felt like he had "made a peace with a part of myself that I never expected — that I never even thought possible."

I was raised with my father, but I do have friends that were not raised by their biological parent (s) and I always wonder how would they feel and how will it be when they meet their biological father or/and mother? I hope it can be as casual as Nick's or better.
