Mother
"One day her teacher lost her voice and asked mother to help teach the class. Standing in front of the class, she knew what she wanted to do when she grew up to be a teacher. Later when her father asked her, his eldest daughter, to quit school to carry some family responsibilities at age 11, she begged, but he wouldn't change his mind. Her pillow was wet with her tears.
