My mom can't memorize things in her native language. She never been to school in her life, so she doesn’t know how to write or read! While she is smart in her cooking and baking and familiar with the area where she grows up, she doesn’t know her date of birth or my date of birth, her address, bank account, and so on. She was going to ESL school here for a year all what she learned is couple letters! She just got hopeless and quit! Trust me it is very difficult.
