<p>i remember my mom corrected some of my essays when i was younger. my memories are all of frustration! mine and hers. looking back i wish she never did that. i didn’t really see back then how hard she worked. but to think she came home from her work (which was demanding - she was a field nurse when i was growing up) to have to try to go over an essay of her son’s with him makes me sad. she’s smarter than average but that’s not really the thing you notice about her because she actually has a warm personality, which seems much more defining. i WISH i inherited the warm personality but i only got the above average intelligence.</p>
