Learning from family
My parents kept a photo wall and encouraged each of us to narrate the stories behind every frame. That practice sparked my love for storytelling and empathy.
Weekend chores were team activities. I was the list maker and quickly learned how planning can keep people calm.
Core memories
- Neighborhood :Loved playing outside and making new friends everyday
- Soccer evenings: we shared one dusty ball but rotated captains every week so everyone practiced leading without shouting.
- Library marathon: the local library ran a reading-log challenge, so I filled mine with comics, atlases, and coding magazines.
Takeaways
Stories feel alive when you share them aloud. Team chores made me value fairness and documentation, and community mentors showed me how curiosity opens doors.
