The author shares a personal experience from her childhood regarding her mother's "limited" English. She is not trying to persuade (no call - to - action), not just entertaining (no light - hearted or humorous elements for pure entertainment), and not describing her career. She is using her personal story to inform readers about a particular aspect (the impact of her mother's English on her perception).
