Personal Narrative : My Favorite Childhood Memory

My Favorite Childhood Memory Have you ever wondered what it is like being home alone, all by yourself and can't go anywhere?In my story I am about to tell you there is a moral/lesson that I had learned throughout this experience.It was when i was about 7 years old during this time, and this was a long time ago at my old house which is by the lake in Cedar Lake.The lesson that i learn in this experience is that you should never keep doing something you know you should not do, or else you will be consequences. First of all, when i was only about 7 years old at my house house, by a lake, I was known for being a troublemaker.During this time, I always did mostly anything that got me in trouble, so one day it all started n June 5th, 2001, on this day was my first day of running away from home.My parents were apparently worried sick wondering where I was, and this is when i thought that this was funny, by running away.So, a few hours or so went on and my parents were still looking for me,right then, I heard sirens coming from down the road where my secret hide–out was where no one else knew where it was, only me.Anyway, they were getting closer and closer to me, I didn't know what to do so I ran outta my hide–out straight back home where my parents were waiting.I got in trouble that time and then I thought, I wonder how it would be like to run away again?

My Favorite Memories

Some of the most vivid memories from my childhood were born and raised in a military housing neighborhood located off the base in Warminster, Pennsylvania. My favorite memory however, was the time my brother and I met one of our childhood best friends. I still remember it as if it happened yesterday, no matter how much dust it collects in the back of my head, I can always blow it off and replay it in my mind as if it was the first time seeing it through my eyes. One humid summer day my older brother and I were outside in the backyard. I want to say I was 6 and my brother was 8, but we were probably younger. The small fenced in space was just on the edge of the forest which allowed the ground to be covered in dead pine needles that the trees would cast to the wind. We were bored as ever, discontent with the neglected pair of swings and lonely slide that had been untouched for most of the summer. They called to us, but our boredom, unable to be satisfied by such a simple fix, declined their invitation. We sat in a pair of lawn chairs that were set up against the white fence dividing our yard from the neighbors'. That's when I heard the sound of springs on a trampoline only a few backyards down. It was a girl. The first thing I thought: cooties. She looked to be my brother's age, and she was. With that being said, we decided to mess with this poor girl by calling out to her, only to quickly duck down behind the safety of our fence. We were hooligans. This was probably not

My Childhood Memory

When I think of the most important memory that I have from my childhood, my mind goes directly to my childhood house to one specific day, the day I got my puppy! I was in my kitchen on a calm day. My sister pulled up into the very cracked black top that was in our driveway. I heard the car door slam close, then the sound of the squeaky kitchen door being opened. Eventually, I heard my name being yelled out by not only one person, but also my niece and nephew. As I ran down the creaky and very loud stairs I could feel that something special was going to happen. As I turned the corner my eyes went directly to one small fluff that was on the table. My sister had previously mentioned that she wanted a puppy and I even went to a run–down pet shop in a very sketchy town with her. But the dog that we were on a hunt for was not at all like the one that was on my kitchen table at that moment. I began approaching the counter, but trying to calm myself down. Previously I had owned a giant spotted pitbull named Yeyo and so I wasn't that familiar with tiny dogs. I was beginning to picture the amazing days I could have with this dog before even laying a finger on her soft fluffy hair. My sister must've surely seen the amazementin my eyes because before even saying anything to her, she began talking. Her words were a blur to me because I was so focused on the huge deep brown eyes that were sitting on the slippery white worn down counter in front of me. The dog was not meant to be mine Get more content

My Favorite Memories As A Kid

Childhood memory

One of my favorite memories as a kid was the time me my sister and the twin neighbors decided that today was a good day to swim. It was probably late april or early may, the pool had been sitting out since last summer and the water had turned green. I of course had to go test out the water, as I was taking my shoes and socks off I went to take a closer look at the water when suddenly my younger sister jumped straight in. She got up and started to cry because the water was full of leaves and other gross things, so me and the twins jumped into the nasty, slimy, green water and had to much fun to be disgusted. Even though everyday of my childhood wasn 't like that day, it 's been full of learning moments and entertaining moments, good times and not as good times that have helped me figure out how to handle life today.

Thesis statement

The purpose of my oratory is to share the importance of making the most of your childhood. I think that childhood should be embraced and treasured because it only lasts so long.

Attention step

So many kids are getting left behind or ignored, and it 's not necessarily by other kids. By the time some kids grow up they have terrible memories from childhood, and in today 's society some could see suicide as an easier way out. Childhood is a physical and mental growing period and should be both fun and educational so that they can grow up into intelligent adults Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death for 15–24 year olds, and even

Childhood Memories Essay

When I was a young child I would love to hear my parents tell me that we were going on a trip. I would be full of excitement, because I knew that we would be going to a place that I had never seen before. My parents, my brother, and I would pack our luggage and venture out in our small gray minivan. Three of my most cherished memories in our minivan are when we went to Disney World, the beach, and the mountains.

When I heard my parents talking about going to Disney World I was so excited. It was a long trip down to Florida and I could not sit still, because I was so excited. We finally arrived that evening and decided to stay in a hotel near thetheme park. When it was time for bed I could not go to sleep for a long time, because I...show more content...

Going to the beach was nothing like going to the lake or swimming pool. The ocean had large waves that would come crashing into the beach. I was so small that the waves would just throw me around. I also got to walk down the beach and find different objects that the waves had washed up on shore. I found seashells that had brilliant colors like the rainbow. I even found a creature that looked like pink jelly. I picked the creature up with a stick and took it to show my dad. My dad told me that it was a jellyfish that could sting me, so he made me bury it in the sand. I saw another creature that was gliding in shallow water. It was dark brown with a long tail and looked like it had wings. It was a horrible looking creature that I had never seen before. My dad came down to the water to see what I was looking at. He told me that they were called skates, and they would not hurt me. That was the first time I saw something living in the ocean besides a fish. My dad then showed me that there were little creatures called, sand fiddlers, which would wash up when the waves crashed into the shore. We sat down on the sand so he could show me how to catch them. The sand fiddlers would dig down in the sand fast as lightning, so we had to dig for them fast as we could. When I caught one it felt like it was trying to dig into your hand with what seemed like a million legs. After about four hours I was exhausted and starving. I

My Memories Of My Childhood Memories Essay

My earliest childhood memory is of the first time I met my mother in person when I was four. A beautiful woman whose personality seemed to glow from her. I had seen a picture of her before then I was told by Mummy Dada, my aunt, so I knew her on sight. The woman I saw walk in the room as I watched from my grandfather's lap seemed effervescent. She floated from person to person at the family reunion like an angel. My mother is one of thirteen children my grandpa has. My brother cousin wanted to play tag but my grandfather wanted me to stay put. Let me clarify, the term "brother cousin" is to describe my cousin that I had thought was my brother because we were raised as brother and sister. I was conflicted as to what I should do but eventually I choose to stay put for a little while. Within a few minutes I couldn't help myself, I hopped off grandpa's lap and went to play tag. It was my favorite game to play, I just knew it was. When it was my turn to give chase I ran around in an unladylike manner trying to catch one of my brother cousins. They were always too fast and out of reach. I didn't even attempt to catch any of my older cousins because I thought that they would be too fast for me to catch. Besides, I was only used to playing with the boys. I ran so fast in my shiny white patent leather shoes that I missed catching my twin brother cousin, Jerry. The term "twin brother cousin" refers to the "brother cousin" who had the same birthday as I did. The smooth bottoms of my

My Childhood Memories

My childhood memories reflect both good and bad times, but every moment makes my life precious. However, a sad memory always resonates within my heart stronger. This is such because a good memory makes me feel positive, yet a bad one has the power to help me grow up and understand what is important in my life. It is about a difficult time with my dad, which helped me grow and mature. The moment was meaningful that I would never trade it for the world. The moment took place nine years ago when I was still a little kid. At that time, my father and I had a lot of arguments. We did not match to each other because our personalities and habits were too distinguished, but my father did not care about it. I thought it was only my personal feeling. I heard him saying that I was only a kid; thus, my opinion did not matter. He would wait for me to grow up and pay attention to me later. Thus, he had never listened to me even a word. As a result, I ignored him when he reminded me to do something. Naturally, I was a stubborn girl, and it always took me a long time to realize my own mistakes. I once was punished for being stubborn. The cost was too much that it hurt me enormously. This is also the first time my father and I traveled to America to visit my sister, who was an international student. Suddenly, my father lost consciousness but no one knew the reason why, and then he disappeared for a few days. My sister told me that he went to another city to visit his friend. I felt something

Favorite Child Memory

My Favorite Child Memory Why must all good things come to an end? When I was younger, my parents had split, and I currently lived with my mother. I was around three or four at the time, and my mother and I had been walking around the neighborhood, and we had stopped by a woman's house, which was five or six houses away. The woman was my mother's friend more than my own, but a great companion nonetheless. The woman's daughter was out in the driveway, and waved me over to come play tag in that little tan paved driveway. If I recall correctly, she was wearing a nice pink and white plaid dress, with a small white shirt underneath, showing the most around the shoulders where the dress' spaghetti straps lay atop of. "Tag, you're it!" She giggled, and tapped me softly on the shoulder, and I followed, a big grin on my lips as I laughed along with her, the two pigtails her brown hair was tied up loosely by little pink bows near her ears were wriggling like her, out of my grasp. The two women sat in lawn chairs to talk, the pieces of thick fabric laying across each other to form a seat and a backrest, in the color blue and orange, with little, white plastic fold up legs. The girl and I both chased each other around for what seemed like hours, which was probably only a fifteen or so minutes. Our patter of footsteps filling the air, sneakers and flip flops as they touched the ground only to leap away again, then to continue to cycle. Laughter filled the air, ours and our parents,

My Favorite Memory

One of my favorite places from my memory is my aunt's store. My cousins and I would go the store regularly, also, there was a pool hall right next the store: I scavenged everywhere for kids and adults that dropped tala's(samoan currency) to buy snacks at the store. The store had some of the best snacks that I still would eat to this day: it had homemade, banana, taro, and potato chips. The store consisted of different candies and chocolates; I felt like I was Charley in the chocolate factory. I used to watch how they made the chips; they fried and seasoned the chips and I would always get the first bag to eat. Inside the store was a refrigerator full of different drinks with all flavors; coconut, kiwi, watermelon, and etc. My favorite drink to have with my snack was a strawberry fanta, because I could exchange the glass bottle for a fanta watch. In Samoa a regular norm was 90 to 95 degrees outside, so an ice cold refreshment with some chips was a go to choice almost every time. Although my aunt owned the store, we were in big trouble from taking stuff from the store. We pulled our trampoline into the farther away from the house, and we hid there and ate our stolen snacks from the store. My Aunt's house was one of my favorite childhood memories as kid because I spent almost everyday at her house. Another childhood memory place I loved was my 3rd house on Allen Rd. This house brings so many memories of my childhood. The Summer we moved into the house was the summer before my Get

In addition, I have never forgotten my singular neighborhood which saw me when I was born, my first steps, my first words and so on. Hence, I had been living there for almost twenty years. There, I grew up with my family and unique neighbors who sharing unforgettable memories. My neighborhood was placed next to the principal port of my country, so everybody could get the most fresh fish and seafood at markets. Close to my house living people who had jobs in the port such as fish man, merchant marine, and captains. I remember that the community formed groups in order to gather money for any purpose. For example, the soccer field of my neighbor was old and careless. We made many activities as bingo, garage sale, and food sale. After long...show more content...

February is the hottest month of the year in my country, so since children to adults play this kind of comic game outside homes watching who is "dry" and get "wet.

Finally, my first school during the elementary was one of the most important in my life. There, I met many friends whom I still keep their friendship. I was six years old when I went at this female school, so all of my friends were woman. Every class, I used to go late because my parents would work the entire day every day; therefore, my grandmother after cook, she got to take me to at school. One day when I was going to my school on bus, I saw in the same bus a black long hair girl also with her grandmother and I remembered have seen her in my classroom. That day, after finishing the class, I started to talk with that girl called "Vanessa". Coincidently, after a long talking, we realized living close to each other. Therefore, I used to go her home to do homework or play chequers. Sometimes, I came home from school with Vanessa and her grandmother when my grandmother could not. Vanessa and I sang popular songs or telling jokes on the back way home. As I met Vanessa, I talked with Sara, Giuliana and Emily also. We are five– girls, so we sat together everyday that my parents talked with their parents, and if some of us were absent in the school, one of the parents called to tell them the homework of the day.

My Childhood Memories

One of the earliest memories I have of me reading, is when I was six years old. My grandmother would watch me in the summer when both of my parents were at work. She compared going to the library as a treat for us to do together. I remember being in that same library for hours at a time, you could call us frequent flyers. She would always start at one end of the library and just slowly snake the aisles. She would let me wonder by myself in the kiddy section to find any book I wanted. I was always so excited to go to the library, but looking back on it, I think I was just excited to go hang out in the play area. I don't know the specific point in time where I decided I didn't like going to the library anymore. I just knew when my mom would drop me off I would dread thinking if my grandmother was going to take me back today. She would keep up with the books I kept and would make sure I returned them or got an extension. Sometimes I wonder if I was a bother to her. We really never did anything together other than that. I would always bring some toys and coloring books to entertain myself. She was always relaxed in my grandpa's huge recliner, watching Dr. Phil in such an intense way I felt like he was preaching to her. My only concern was to make sure I wasn't too loud. I will never forget her forcing me to read what felt like an eternity every day I was there. I felt trapped into doing something that I didn't want to do anymore. I had no escape, slowly hating the thought of

Beginnings I was born on June 13, 2005, in Peoria IL. I have five family members. My dad's name is Mike, my mom's name is Amber, my brother's name is Andrew, and my twin sister's names are Macy and Mariah. I currently live in Goodfield, Il, in a subdivision called Lakes at Oak Valley. We live by a big pond that is great for fishing and swimming. We have hosted many big events at my house and it is perfect forfamily get togethers or swim parties. For my family vacations, I have been to the following places/states: Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, California, Alabama, Connecticut, Oregon, Canada, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Haiti, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Kansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Michigan. I have had many childhood memories, but my favorite is probably a vacation whenever I went on the longest road in the U.S. It goes from Chicago to Los Angeles. The road is called Route 66. We drove on most of it but near the end we headed toward California and went camping in Sequoia National Park. We camped with some friends and even saw a bear trying to eat some of our food. I always have a great relationship with all of my family members and I can always count on them for help.

My Memories A Favorite Memory

An individual's childhood memory has impacted them in some way whether it be emotionally or physically. From one memory to another, good or bad, develops the entity of a person's personality or logic. I considered one of my worst memories a favorite memory because, from that experience, I gained development as an individual. The start of that development occurred on vacation without my parents attending. Like any other child, I became very enthusiastic of the whole idea of freedom and self–guidance. After the majority of thetrip, I became uninterested with self–guidance and I wanted to rely on the adults to plan fun–filled activities. I was very disappointed with the fact that their lack of authority and action lead to an uneventful vacation. I began to miss my parents' guidance because with every request or action they took it was in all the best interest of me. Whether it was to hold my hand across the road or watch the things I eat, all of it was intended for my growth and safety. It was then that I realized how much my parents really cared for me and it made me grow to respect their wishes even more. Concisely what began as a getaway from my parents resulted in a realization of how much I should appreciate and respect them.

I remember it like yesterday. We were all waiting patiently for my father to come home from the race track. He promised me and my sister that if he won, he would take us all to Rye Playland. The minutes felt like hours. It was the longest hour of my life. Then finally weheard the car door shut. Me and my sister ran to the front door anxiously waiting for the news.

Me and my sister then ran into our rooms picking out what we were going to take with us for the hour and half long car ride. I brought my favorite book and my game boy. I picked out my favorite outfit and ran back into my parents room and ask when we were leaving. I was so relieved to see them already packing the car up with the cooler. My mom bought all my favorite juices and made our favorite sandwiches for lunch. My favorite was Peanut Butter and Jelly. Me and my sister then jumped in the back seat and were on our way. The car ride felt like forever. We annoyed our parents with repetitious questions about what the park was like and how much longer the ride would be. I twas ironic because we spent so much time discussing what we were going to do and how much fun it was going to be, we never once played with the books and games we packed.

I remember the main gate to the park looked like golden doors to an enchanted castle. It was beautiful. We rushed and bought our tickets so we could get started on all the awesome rides they offered. The first thing we saw was a huge roller coaster with a big loop. Then it all continued with bumper cars, ferris wheels, train rides, go–karts, and all the games you can think of. Me and my sister played every game they had there. Of course we didn't win any. My father also played games. We got all the

My eyes open and I peel the covers off me and my warm pajamas, flick the lights on in my room, forgetting to look at the clock before I unlatch the door and I tiptoe down the hall to Harrison's room. He is up and is sitting upright in his bed. I happen to see the clock and it is only 5:00 am. Why did Christmas morning feel to move so slow? I knew my parents wouldn't be up this early, so I told Harrison we should go back to bed, but I realize I just couldn't fall asleep with so much anticipation. What did Santa bring this year? I toss and turned, and thought that it must have been another hour. As a look at the clock only 8 minutes went by and then I had had enough. I open my door, and put on some socks to protect my feet from the frosty wooden floors, and crept down the stairs. Left foot... right foot... one step closer to the Christmas tree. Only a few steps

My grandma has a farm in rural Alberta. The cerulean sky stretches for miles. The sunny canola fields blanket rolling hills and part around trees. At night, the infinite stars smile down on the darkened countryside. It's where my mom was born and raised with her three brothers. It's where I feel at home. I was too young to remember our first trip to Alberta, to "the Farm" out West. There is a picture from that trip that I remember though, and it's one of my favourites. In the picture I'm standing next to my cousin Brock. We are looking past the dirty window pane of the peeling yellow playhouse that was in my Grandma's front yard. Brock has his hand on my back like we are an old married couple who have supported each other through thick and thin. When I was three, I went Out West again. My grandma made a scrapbook with me from that trip. In it, it says "Brock and I are best friends. He's my cousin." And it's true, all of my cousins out West have always been my best friends. Some of my most treasured memories were made in their company. We were always marathoning Disney movies, having arm wrestling competitions, playing Payday and The Game of LIFE, and singing "You Belong With Me" at the top of our lungs. It was a tradition to rewrite the same play every other year, when we were all at the Farm together. It was a very simple good versus evil plot, but we would have so much fun with it. Whenever we were all reunited against the backdrop of the farm, it was like the gods of

For the first two planes of my development, the majority of my memories are fighting with my parents and siblings. I have never really gotten along with my family and I don't know why. I guess it's because my mother's and personalities are too similar and they clash.There have been lots of crucial things in my life that have made me into the person that I am today. Not all of them have been great, or something that I want to remember, but some are great and I never want to forget them. The fact that I have lived in the same house for 13 years (I am now 16) and gone to the same school for going on 13 years this year, have probably helped me keep some memories. At the same time though it probably gets them jumbled up a little.

I went to the Wheat Ridge Campus where both of my brothers went, and my mother worked. This is where my love for learning began and flourished. I had a very tight knit group of friends that I met in kindergarten and had until 3rd grade, despite the fact that one of them moved to Canada. I can really only remember people from my kindergarten, playing at recess, and working in the classroom across the hallway after lunch. I had my kindergarten continuation with Amanda, Sami, and Paul, I still talk to two of them. It was held in the cafegymatorium, and I had a cap, a gown, and huge purple corsage.

When I moved up to my Lower Elementary classroom, my favorite teacher Lisa also moved with me. I think at this point in my life I already had a lot of anxiety and her moving up with me helped, because she was something familiar.

I read my first chapter book, started girl scouts, and had quite a few fun times just in my first–grade year. I also participated in a play and that sparked my love for theater, although the biggest thing that happened was I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up. I still have that dream to this day.

My second–grade year the things I remember the most are the time we had to do some plays in Spanish and we made hot chocolate. I also remember my teachers tearing apart the classroom after Saint Patrick 's Day, so that we could learn to work together. One of mybest friends also moved to Canada and we have a

My Favorite Memory

I can never forget the nostalgic feeling that enlightens me everytime I drive pass the neighborhood that stores my favorite memories as a child. Each memory holding its own story, dying to be told. Either it be positive or negative, they are what shaped me into the person I am today. I grew up in Frogtown, a small town occupied by 17,049 of the 302,398 people living in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Frogtown is considered to be one of the few ghetto areas in Saint Paul city, Opposing it's prosperous neighbor, Summit Hill. Growing up, violence was no stranger to us kids, hearing gunshots that would pierce through my ear drums like a knife was normal. I still vividly remember the day I walked into a burglary at a corner store directly next to my house. Everyday that I would walk home from my bus stop, the run down store always had its way of capturing my eyes. Maybe it was the fresh blue paint that began to crack, with each crack connecting to each other, it began to form an image of what seems to be a tree. Which was aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Or maybe it was the fact that the store holds my favorite bag of chips; a bag that bursts with unimaginable spicy but savory flavors and was obtainable by only a dollar. It was definitely that. Soon I caught on to the daily behavior of buying chips and it was these small treats that distracted our little minds from the violence that grew like a virus in the winter. However, on a specific trip to my daily routine of buying chips, Get

My Childhood Memory

Something I believe that has been memorable in my life was losing my great grandma and remembering all the things she taught me. Almost all of my favorite child hood memories were with her. Aside from the fun and games though, she could be stern and hard on my brother and me. When I was younger, I didn't understand it, but now, I realize that at the time in which she grew up her environment made her that way. My great grandma, grew up in the forties, times were hard money wise and obviously, that put some pressure on her parents. Her father always came home drunk and was not only mean to both her sisters and her, but the worst of it was saved for her mother. This always put her mother into a bad mood, making her home life basically awful. My grandma left home sooner than she should of but, she needed to get out of that situation anyway. She married at fourteen, and was dragged into another bad relationship. My grandma always told me to straighten up, put my shoulders back and hold my tongue. I guess her mother and father would say the same thing to her. Instead of playing with Barbie's, dress up or having tea like some normal little girl would do, she would always rather me do things that she thought was going to make me toughen up. My grandma always told me to go shovel some dirt in the back, watch my grandpa change the oil in the Buick or clean out the shed. It always had to be something productive, which makes sense now but I do wish she would have let me have more
