G-Ma's Carrot Cake
The first time I had carrot cake was back in my elementary school days. Nearly 2 years after my family moved back to Ottawa, ON, Canada after living in Boston, Massachusetts, USA for eight years. A shy and awkward 9-year-old who had been thrust into a whole new environment with no good friends at that time. I was playing basketball for our town league and managed to have fun with those kids. However, those moments only lasted for a few hours, a couple of days out of the week. Canada teaches French from an early age all the way up to high school. Because my family moved to the U.S. when I was just 1-year-old, I lost the chance to learn French during my early years. Not to mention that I had a pretty noticeable Boston accent. The neighbourhood kids had their clicks already and weren't that kind. So, you can imagine the loneliness and stress that was felt having to leave all my old friends behind, trying to learn how to fit into a whole new school system, struggling with a second language, and of course the slight grammatical differences between American and Canadian English. It was hard and caused me and my parents a lot of stress.
