For me specifically, I would describe her as a western parent. She wasn’t strict such as, I didn’t have to be home at a certain time or I didn’t have to make my bed up before I left for school. I knew what to do and what not to do. I knew not to get into the car with strangers. I knew not to disrespect my teachers in school. She was very supportive of our…

houses all look the same in my neighborhood. Each person inside, however, is one in seven billion.
