So for our second assignment, we were asked to interview our parents or guardian, asking them the following questions
What was i like in the first 5 years of my life? what things did i like to play, what do you think was unique aabout me? What did you think i would become when i grew up?
Upon reading these questions i was a little weary about the kind of response i would get from my mom, especially since we are nigerian and we don't really talk about things like this except when telling stories at family gatherings.
My mom's response were as follows;
1) You were a really small girl growing up, every one was bigger than you but alwasy wanted to be the leader of everything! You would cry all the time because you couldnt have everything your own way and you didnt want to do anything u didnt like to do
2) You Loved candy, loved to cry all the time! You loved playing with your sisters especially your little sister who was a year younger than you but did everything u told her to do and that made you so happy that she would do what you wanted her to do.
3) I thought you would become a Teacher because you always used to gather all the little neighborhood kids and sit them down and teach them a,b,c's and 1,2,3!
