I liked doing chores when I was young. My mother started teaching us to cook when we were five
or six. There was a reason for that. My father was at home for only two days a month, so my mother
had to do everything. She had to grow crops, feed the dog and the chickens and cook for us. When we
were five or six years old, we all started to help our mother do the housework. My eldest sister Lora
helped our mother reap crops on the farm, my second eldest sister Daisy did the laundry, and I cooked
for the family. When my sister finished their work, they both came to the kitchen to help me. I can
still remember the tears in my mother's eyes when she saw the first dishes we cooked. When I was
seven I went to school, but I still came home every day and cooked for the family. I also liked to bring
the food I cooked and share with my classmates.
