December 13: When do you buy your Christmas presents?

I normally buy Christmas presents in October and November.

December 14: Share a memorable gift— opening moment of childhood.

The one gift that stands out would be when my parents bought me an English Composition Textbook, they knew I was struggling in class particularly with writing back in fourth grade. By the way, in Florida and in my school we have an exam in fourth grade to evaluate our writing skills (includes both our handwriting and the content) for the first time and our grade there determines our position for the next year and it also determines if we get held back or not. I would read and take notes, writing essays throughout all of break up until the day of the exam. I scored a five so I was pretty proud and I know I got the point off because my handwriting has always been complex to understand. I interpreted the textbook as my parents trying their best to help me, they don’t speak or write in English so they couldn’t help me in any other way I guess, in a subject I was struggling with.
