【1】. I have a particularly visual memory — very helpful for characters. Another big part of the good fortune is how early I started Chinese.

My sisters were studying Japanese in their primary school. 【2】.
The first year was fun, but then our teacher moved to China and the replacement was ill-equipped for the task. The next year my family moved to the US.

We got along well and I have many fond memories of our lessons. 【3】
Back in Australia to start Grade 11, my new school was chosen partly because it offered advanced Chinese classes. 【4】. I fell in love with China for no real reason. Something about the place just attracted me.
