Small Stories in a Big Country

Small Stories in a Big Country

By Queen Olivia Lucretia-Bourgeois Connie St Redfern III

Hi, I’m Connie, I grew up in small town New Zealand. I watched a lot of television growing up. Documentaries like Who’s the Boss, Growing Pains, Kate and Ally. When I was grown up, I went to the USA for real. These are some of my small stories in a big country, learning about the USA, and learning about myself too.
