Jane O'Connel's Draw My Life

Transcript
Jane: "Hello, I am Jane, and welcome to Draw My Life, since I only lived to the age of twenty, this will be very short."

[Jane draws the words "June 5th 1953]

Jane: "I was born in Dublin to a nationalist family, it was sometimes mixed with a few relatives, I grew up in one of Dublin's most wealthiest districts, so, I lived a pretty privileged life."

[Jane then draws her family]

Jane: "I had three brothers and three sisters, the youngest was 13 when I died, I was the fourth oldest, or fifth oldest if you count Aofie being 10 minutes older than Mairead."

[Jane draws her father]

Jane: "My dad loved me most of all, I was born on what would have been James Connolly's 86th birthday."

Jane: "Unlike the other ancestors, Cuong being born during Japanese rule and having to live in one of Hanoi's poorest areas, Shuya having breathing issues that would last until he died, Arthur growing up in a poor area of England, I had a fairly easy childhood."

[Jane draws her teddy bear]

Jane: "My favorite toy was this teddy bear with an teddy bear-Irish flag shirt, Da gave it to me when I was two."
