Thanksgiving is almost here, and people across the country are getting ready,

anticipating their favorite dishes and family traditions.

But here at StoryCorps, we have our own kind of Thanksgiving tradition.

Hello, I'm 16 years old. I'm speaking

with my grandmother. Okay, so I will be interviewing my dad. I'm interviewing my tutu, which

means grandma in Hawaiian. It's called the great Thanksgiving listen, where every year we put out a call

for young people to interview an elder in their

lives, maybe a grandparent, a parent, or an important mentor or friend.

I'm interviewing my grandma in Glenview, Illinois.

The idea is to give young people a chance to honor someone,

to learn from them and preserve their story for future generations.
