I really liked how significant she speaks on her mother when she’s giving details about who she is and what she brings to the table. Her ending sentence signifies how important her mom is and how strong she is. “And even when the teacher turns me towards the classroom and I hear what must be the singing and talking of all children in the world, I can still hear my mother’s footsteps above it all.” I enjoy her detailing about how her mom’s environment and reactions to her being rejected and how firm she is with finding solutions. One suggestion I have is adding more of her reaction as well because we see most of her mom.
