This question is asking you to think about one person who was once a stranger, but now you still remember them.
Imagine you're walking through a park, and you meet someone new, maybe they’re playing with a toy you like, or they say something funny. That person is a stranger because you don’t know them yet. But if that person leaves an impression on you, like they made you laugh or gave you a cool sticker, you might still remember them even after they're gone.
It’s kind of like when you meet someone at the grocery store, and they give you a smile. You don’t know their name, but you remember that smile because it felt nice. That person was once a stranger, but now you still remember them because of something special they did.
Why It Matters
