Ever since I was a child, my mother noticed that I was a gifted kid, because I was a quick learner and grasped facts really swiftly compared to my siblings who were average. Because of this, she decided to teach me from home instead of taking me to a classroom set up. She also home schooled me because I was the last born and she wanted company at home because my older siblings were all away in different colleges. What my mother noticed about home schooling is that I developed my character and no amount of peer pressure could sway me and that is something she admired. In my senior year of high school, she allowed me to take a home economics class at the local high school so that I could experience high school life for a while. In the class, I mostly enjoyed the part where we were taught how to cook various dishes and that is where I developed my passion for vintage crockery. In every lesson as we used a different recipe to learn how to cook, out teacher would sit at her desk and drink herbal tea from very unique cups that were extremely tiny which needed a certain finesse whilst holding them. When she noticed my curiosity, she showed me her unique collections of good quality china and silver ware I have ever seen, and she told me at her spare time, she collected unique crockery that were vintage to the latter.
