This is a snippet of my life, the first in a series inspired by Reader's Digest 100-word story challenge.
When I was about five years old, I was sent to stay with a
relative to avoid catching my brother’s mumps. Auntie took care of me. Being a shy
and awkward girl, I responded to questions by lowering my eyelids for yes. Now
auntie and I are living in different countries, but I always remember her kindness
to me. When auntie visited the USA several years ago, I came to see her. Auntie
could not believe the way I had turned out, from an “ugly duckling” of a shy
little girl to a confident woman who can hold a conversation.
