DescriptionAutobiographical essay and other assignments written by Chiyoko V. Kawahata for Garrett Starmer's Senior Problems Class at the Tule Lake High School. In her autobiography, Chiyoko admits that she doesn't know much about her ancestral history, but knows that her grandparents came to America a long time ago and moved to Newcastle, California in 1906. She writes that her parents were both born in America, and that they had a fruit ranch in Newcastle.
