Childhood memory
There is something about growing up that makes you yearn for the simplicity of your childhood. Memories of those glorious care free days come flooding back as i almost gasp at the intense rate everything has changed. Treasured forever are the memories of my childhood.

My favorite childhood memory ? Let me think ... A trip to Nassa, dining with a world famous football player, swimming with the sharks maybe ? Nope, I've actually not encountered an experience close to that extravagance. However, i can without a doubt say that the memories i hold from my childhood are far more significant than any of those would ever be.

At the tender are of five, my parents spontaneously decided on moving to a remote, farm like area. At first i wasn't in the least bit pleased. However, upon close inspection of the much unusual surroundings, i happened to stumble upon a little hidden away tree house. Dark brown planks have been carelessly hammered together, still creating the perfect hide away. I hadn't a clue who this secluded tree house belonged too, but i had suddenly felt an attachment to it, the sort of attachment a mother feels toward her newborn baby. I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of adventure overtake me. From that moment on, i just knew that this was the start of amazing memories.

I almost instantly proceeded to expire this little inhabitable. Inside was a little wooden table with two matching wooden stools. A tattered green teddy bear lay neglected in a corner. It was not much, but i had felt cosy and safe after a very long time. I did feel a little uneasy though, thinking about the rightful owner kicking me out of my new " home ". But i promised myself and the little teddy that i would do everything i my power to stay. As expected, a little person showed up a few hours later with a thankfully friendly face. As it turns out, that was the beginning of the greatest friendship imaginable as she extended a warm welcome into her little wooden tree house. I

    In the evening, the back porch of the home took on an aura of enchantment. As dusk settled and the lamp was lit, children wandered in from play to sit on the floor or snuggle in their parents’ laps. Glasses of iced tea were refilled and someone would settle back, look at the ceiling and say, “I remember when…” Thus began a tale, often embellished with some distant imagining. Regardless, each one taught a lesson of life. Later that night after they were tucked in bed, the children would fall off to sleep remembering the story. Years later, they repeated those tales of life to their own child, and so on through the generations. So join me on the back porch and make yourself comfortable. By the way, I remember when……

    Childhood memories are the best kind of memories, but some stand out more than others. My favorite childhood memory is filming my commerical with my soccer team at age six. One of the family members of one of my teammates worked for Fox Two News and filmed us doing a “Fox Two in My Neighborhood” commercial. Beforehand, the crew had given us a script with our lines so we had a plan of what each of us would say. When the crew arrived, we set up the field started filming. My part was at the very beginning, and I said, “We’re the Smithton Ladybugs!” People that ran the crew tried several girls for my part, but they just kept coming back to me. We ran through the whole commerical, then my dad took me home. I still vividly remember the reports and…

    I walked back through the soft grass, stepping onto the little pathway that led to our back door. I opened the screen door, walking into our old living room; though, it was more like looking into a room I had never seen before. It was vacant, missing our various pieces of furniture that had lived and entertained us for years. The red, comfy couch no longer sat against the wall, inviting us to sit down. Our bookshelves, full of stories and fairytales that Mama would read to me, were gone, in some moving truck on its way to Indiana at that very moment. And lastly, our ancient family clock, the one that had been passed down for multiple generations, was absent from its place on the mantle. If I thought hard enough, I could remember and imagine the laughter of people and the aroma of southern cooking all throughout the…

    The memories of playing under the old hollow Oak Tree, swimming in the creek, working in the fields, feeding the cows, riding horses, hunting in the woods by day and night, playing our favorite indoor games or reading from the Bible as we sat near the fire place and sitting around the supper table will always be a part of us. After all, a house is not a home. A house is simply a place where a home may live, but when the people are no longer there, it is just a house.…

    Your house, the place you grew up in. It once was an empty building, void of life, but now it is so much more. It’s the crib where you cooed and shook a pastel rattle, where the word “ma-ma” slid out of your mouth. It’s the room where your eager face, gently lit up by Christmas lights, saw your new teal bike. It’s the drive-way, where you scraped your knee running toward your dad to welcome him home from work.…

    I can still remember the times when I was just a young boy. I grew up in the rural part of town on our family's ranch. Most knew where my family resided, as we set up our establishment and named it the Double G Ranch. Amongst my family, included a vast variety of animals. We had everything from racing horses to bulls and even a mean rooster that startled everyone on the farm except for my mother. Friends and close relatives would often visit to participate in trail rides, social gatherings, and other outdoor activities. My family's ranch became not only everyone else around us the favorite place to hang out, but also a place where I created memories. I can honestly say that my childhood consisted of numerous adventures that fulfilled my enjoyment.…

    In days beyond recall, I spent my time in a pasture that seemed as wide and long as the ocean. There was a great pond on the side of field, which had a little creek the ran straight across. It was full of meadow flowers and tall amber glowing grass. Being tiny for my size it came up past my waist ; from the deck of the great white house you could barely see me. The house was not my own, though I could go on that I wish it was. It belonged to my Grandfather and Grandmother, who were both imaginative, kind, along with goodwill to all.…

    I moved into my home when I was about 4. They house we used to live in was going to be too small once me and my sister, Mira, got older. I was very sad that we were leaving the house I had lived in my whole life. I had many fond memories for it, such as my dad building a playing structure for me and my sister. I remember thinking that I had a say in which house we were going to buy, and I thought that I had a part in making such an important decision, which I know now is preposterous, but I felt proud to be making choices. I remember missing my old house, with the play house that my dad made, and the stairs up to my bedroom, which seemed so tall. This new house had no stairs. I remember meeting our new neighbors, Manny, who really like vintage pinball machines…

Memories that are remembered are apart of who we are today an what makes us how we are. These memories and experiences tech us life lessons that we use without knowing it everyday.

    Growing up as a little kid I really didn’t have any toys or friends to play with. My dad works in construction, I asked him one day if he could built me a little play house for me, he told me that he would think about it. Until the next day he brought in some wood, nails, paint… so on and so forth to build the house. Now, this house was like no Barbie house, this house was a life size house for a little kid. I remember helping my dad drawing and building it to make it looked all pretty. The house look like a real house, it had a door with a door knob, and a window. The house could even fit in my blue chair with letters on it so I can go inside, sit down and eat my snacks in there. I loved it so much I would usually take my naps in there.…

    As I sat there, playing, the door suddenly banged open. My mom stood there anxiously with fear in her chocolaty eyes. I knew something tragic had occurred for she never came home early. She grabbed my forearms and pulled me up with a jolt and snatched a plastic bag from the corner and stuffed what little clothes and toys I had in it. My own brown eyes were filled with tears, but I didn’t let them fall. She dragged me along as she moved and on her way out, she shut the door with a thunderous bang. Who would have thought that that was the last day I would ever see that little one room garage house again.…
