ENVIRONMENT
Part of my motivation to write a memoir was to capture lost memories. Master Rubio can describe scenarios in detail from when he was two. We are all so unique in our ability to remember. If you can’t recall memories from an early age just skip those questions. But, also take note as to why that might be. If the home environment doesn't work for you, use one that does.
