Maria's Childhood.

Maria was born and raised in Oakland California. She was born in a family of four children including her. She was the youngest out of her two older brother and one older sister. Her aunt and uncle also live in the same house as her. She has a problem socializing and making friends. She is a very shy, kind, and certainly not a talkative person. As a child her parents were caught up in working. When she was young she had almost everything that she would need. But the only problem was she has no bond with her mother.
After Maria’s mother gave birth two month later she had to go back to work Maria didn’t have much of a bond with her parents since they work all day long, probably eight hour each day. On weekend when they would have time to spend with the family, they usually go to other people's house or have a small party with other relatives. Unlike Maria’s siblings Maria didn't spend much time with her mom.
Maria’s aunt didn’t work so she was the one who took care of Maria while her parents work. Even though her aunt would be a replacement of her mother, her aunt wouldn’t have much time to spent with her when she was a baby, her aunt was like one of those house wife who clean and cook all day long. Her aunt would spend time with her playing with her for about two hour each day. Within those two hour her aunt would talk to her and rock her back and forth telling her stories and times of the old days. When Maria was two, her aunt and uncle had move out of the house.
Ever since, Maria had to go to her babysitter’s house. At her babysitter house there were at least two to three other kid around her age. While other were playing, she would just go to the coach or the corner of the room or any place and play with her toys by herself.
Well in these case Maria has no bond with her mom and that no bond with her mother, it caused her not to bond with others as well too. That is why Maria has trouble making friends. Since her mother doesn’t talk that much to her and her aunt only talked a little to her. She doesn’t have that encouragement that she need when she was little to talk others, even her parents and sibling were as strangers to her like everyone else.
