Explanation:

The passage uses pronouns like "I" and "my" (e.g., "My mother...", "I said") which are characteristic of first - person point of view, where the narrator is a character in the story and tells it from their own perspective. Second - person uses "you" and third - person uses "he", "she", "they" to refer to characters without being the narrator themselves. So the narrator's point of view is first person.

Answer:

first person
