Culture In Education

I asked her about it one day and she told me that her mom was in school, and her mom couldn’t afford to take of her so she lived with her grandparents. I thought it was strange at the time because her mom was different from my mother. My mom already went to school and already has a job. Another memorable experience would be with my cousins in church. When my parents took me to church as a child, they dressed me up: shined shoes, frilly socks, a bow the size of my head, and a pretty church dress.
