Another question for your story:
Do you remember any special gifts you got for Christmas?
When I was in fifth and sixth grade it seemed all of the other girls got Barbie Dolls for Christmas. I was given an inexpensive craft doll. The legs didn't move on the doll. Her hair wasn't as sturdy and full. She was a little smaller than the Barbie Dolls. My mother had sewn clothes for her, and I brought her to school when the girls had all agreed to bring their dolls to play with at recess.
When I was in sixth grade I received a Tammy Doll as a gift. A Tammy Doll looked more like a real person than a Barbie Doll did. The Tammy Doll came with a couple of outfits, and my mother had sewn more outfits for her. I still had a different doll from the other girls, but I cherished her.
I still have my Tammy Doll. She has been held and played with by my daughters. I am grateful I got the Tammy Doll because she looked more like me and I think she gave me a better feeling about myself.
