Whenever I encounter a situation…

First grade always stands out in my memory. I can’t remember who I spoke to on the phone five minutes ago but I sure as hell can remember first grade. I became an avid reader and started writing that year. This is when I learned I had an aptitude for telling stories. I also had a fantastic, well-educated, extremely articulate and intelligent teacher. She made a long-lasting impression, and no teacher I had thereafter has ever compared. Little wonder I recall so much from that particular time in…

Growing up in the house with my parents always saying “Look after you sisters and make sure they do not get to any trouble.” They would always say if anything happens to them that would have to be my sisters’ keeper, even if they were doing things that I did not agree with. I never paid attention to them until someone almost ran over my baby sister because I was not watching her, and she ran into the streets. I said this to ask have anyone ever had this brother or sister that your parents made…
