HOMEWORK: Who were the most important people in your childhood? Why? The most important person in my childhood was my mom! When I was little, I was terrified of being away from her. I still remember the first day I went to preschool when I was five— as soon as I couldn’t see her, I stood and cried the whole day. I cried so much that my mom eventually had to come back and pick me up. I think I must have been a difficult child to raise. I’m really thankful to my mom.
