Gratitude still in my heart

My early childhood was great, I was the first born. My mother had five children after me so I mostly remember spending lots of time with my doting grandmother who kept me busy learning to sew & knit before I could read & write. I had such enthusiasm and benefited from tons of attention. Creativity was a game to me and I learned to value time. When I was nine, we moved far away and life changed overnight. I was really lucky to land a grade 5 teacher who guided me to learn english at an accelerated rate. I was a good student. I've always been particularly thankful to both, teacher and grandmother. they truly helped mold me into the person I turned out to be.
