Well, let me tell you about my grandmother, who took care of me as a child. Sadly, she passed away a few years ago, before I graduated from university. She used to work selling lottery tickets. I have countless wonderful memories with her from when I was in primary school. My parents were really busy with their careers, so my grandmother took care of me, from picking me up from school and taking me home. But the fun thing was, she didn't take me straight home. She always stopped by a local restaurant for sweet soup. We chatted a lot about everything, updating each other on my parents, my school life, and my friends. Also, I remember she was very caring and had a deep love for animals. For example, she always brought stray dogs to my house, and I would adopt them. She taught me how to build relationships with animals, and I took great care of them. On weekends, my sister and I always went to her house to play and talk. We had a lot of fun together.
