As a child, I wasn’t really allowed to do some things I loved to do, like going to play at a friend’s house or watch television for hours or to be on the computer for very long. I was very reserved and quiet. My parents are strict disciplinarians and all about book work.…
the life of a normal child at his age. Whereas children were going to school, interacting…
I feel that friends have become more reliable and less flakey. I have enjoyed everything I’ve learned over time from family, friends, teachers and mentors. I also really like that boys are becoming men and not toying with my heart as much, but obviously I know they still have some growing up to do. I don’t like some of the new responsibilities that come with aging. I definitely took for granted everything I was given when living at home, like free food, clothes, gas, toothpaste and all the other little necessities. I also wish I could rewind time and enjoy school while it was easy. I also don’t like the loss of creativity and imagination of growing up. My mind used to run wild and everything I did, I did because I wanted to do it, I was never afraid of what others thought about me in the process. Now I’m sad that I care so much about what people think, instead of just doing the things that make me happy with no thought behind…
I was a positive outcome of a failed relationship, which almost felt like living two different lives. Similar to the different lives people live at school/work and the ones lived at home. These two lives were completely distant from each other, both literally and figuratively. The divorce led my mother to flee home; one of the utmost diverse and populated cities in America the great city of Chicago. Into the arms of a man I happen to call step-dad who lives in one of…
When people are young, they are always told, “your childhood years are some of the best years of your life so enjoy them while you can.” Children typically spend their hours watching interactive shows and playing with toy, yet I have a very hazy memory of doing those things. Coming from a deprived, immigrant family did not permit me to have this joyful childhood experience, but instead led me to grow up faster than customary and shaped me into the person I am today.…
The problem with kids is that they are lazy when the need to work. Having there own money can help them under stand that if they want to do stuff they have to earn money for it. They will learn to save spend and what not to buy with there own money. It is there…
I always liked to explore and test my limits. In an attempt to allow me to explore, my parents made sure that my environment was safe. Instead of running around saying "no" every time I touched something that could harm me, they put dangerous objects out of my reach and lots of safe, fun stuff within it. This gave me a little more independence, and my parents some added peace of mind.…
For many Children their childhood is a time of fond memories. It is a time for freedom and innocence from their cares. They felt very secure in their community. This innocence I displayed when Michele says, “We could do whatever we liked.…
Now, as adult, I look forward to my next move in life. Each new town or city I live in has its own special place. I do not get sad anymore leaving one house to move into another. I look forward to the change of environment and look forward to the new opportunities to learn about the area, including the people, culture and new foods. As a mom, I make each new move an adventure for our girls. I remember that feeling of losing something. In actuality, I was gaining. I want to make sure they see it that way, too. Life is an adventure, it should not be…
The younger me loved to be active and constantly moving around but as i grew up I started to enjoy times that were quiet as well. The few activites i liked to do and still do now is play soccer, go bowling, read, and going for bike rides. As a little kid and teenager, my cousins and I use to do a bowling day which was very intense since we are all competitive. I never and still don`t ever win because I suck at bowling but it's always a fun day seeing some of my cousins for some friendly composition and to see who will hold bragging rights. Also, when i was a kid my mom and I use to go for bike rides on the trail into erin to get ice cream from baileys ice cream shop. I it was always worse biking back rather than there because I always thought about the ice cream but on the way back there was no ice cream to look forward to.…
Growing up there were always children in and out of my household. Everytime I turn around my parents were always watching someone’s kid. I was never alone, there was always someone to play with, talk too, or even fight with. My parents loved helping raise and take care of children so the older I got the more it rubbed off on me. When I was old enough they gave me the responsibility to babysit my cousins and children of family friends. I grew up in a big family so there were always children around in need of a babysitter.…
Being a grown up seemed like fun until I grew a little older and realized the hardships that came with it. I couldn't help but to think about what would happen when I got to my parents age; I thought about what I would look like, who I would be married to, and what my kids would look like. I began to ponder.…
Your childhood is a very important time of your life. It is the time where you learn and grow. There is a question though what are the circumstances that have forced me to go from a child to an adult? There are many moments that I am going to face and have faced where I have become and will have to be an adult. These are some of my moments that I have gone from an immature kid to a mature adult.…
The reason the kids of all ages love money is because if they have their own money instead of always asking their parents, they can buy things they want or need, and this is the second reason why kids should get paid for their grades. Very often kids want to get things, but their parents think they don’t need them. In case of having their own money, kids will get a little independence in making decision what is important and what's not for them. They will have ability to be in charge of their own budget.…
As a child your mind is completely open and vulnerable with every experience having a lasting impression on you.…
