When in high school Mercia (who's name is English and comes from names related to Mercy, this is a name of compassion and kindness.) spent her days getting off the school bus and staying home taking care of her siblings. She didn't go out and hang out with friends like most high schoolers did. Mercia became the other caretaker of her siblings in her parents absence which was a great deal of the time. This didn't bother her as much as most people would think because while she was in school she actually worried about her siblings. It was hard for her to concentrate actually because she would have worries such as her toddler brother choking and not being able to awake their mother to help him. It is this time that she learned the value of spending time with family and how very important it is.
