Before i could leave,my grandmother angrily called me back. 'What's all this about? She asked. You should change your attitude! Homework is a chance to learn,not a punishment!
She then told me all about her childhood. School had been out of the question as she had had to work from dawn to dusk helping on the family farm. Education had been just a dream. Leaving the kitchen, i realised how hard life must have been for my grandmother and how lucky i was that i didn't have to go out to work!
