Looking Back at My Childhood

Narrative Essay
My Childhood…
“Looking back on a childhood filled with events and memories, I find it rather difficult to pick on that leaves me with the fabled “warm and fuzzy feelings.” As a first daughter of a workaholic man, I actually felt the little sadness of being a child. When my father got home from his work, it was always late in the evening and when I wake-up early in the morning, his still sleeping until my School Bus comes. It always happened. But when he’s on vacation, he never fails to surprise me with a bunch of new toys and sweets. He even takes my Mommy and me to a Park, Malls, Zoo, etc.
When my little sister’s come into our life, it gets happier. There are times when i together with my sister went to the school together and my dad and mom would fetch us and went to the Ocean Adventure. There were lots of beautiful places that my family goes when vacation.
I thought that our family is perfect, and suddenly my Childhood is nearly my miserable nightmare, because when I was 6-8 years old, I saw everything that happens when my Mom and Dad were fighting and I don’t know why. Then when I become 9 years old, I decided to come with my grandparents (which is my mother’s side) here in Bicol. My parent’s let me to come. So I continue my studies while my mother is visiting me monthly. Then 1 day, when I’m turning 10 years old, my mother together with my little sisters went here in Bicol. And that’s the thing; I never realize that they left my Daddy in Manila. And time’s goes by, my daddy was visiting us, and my little sisters continue they’re studies with me. When I turn 1st year high school, that’s the time when my dad and mom never see each other again and Dad stop visiting us, but all I know is that my Dad is only busy with his job. And suddenly, I heard a gossip about my Daddy, that he’s having an affair with his Boss that has been he’s last Girlfriend back in their high school days. And then my mommy told me that they’re already separated. And I know everything about my father’s undoing’s. That when I was still in my mother’s womb, Dad is already having different affairs, for short my dad is a simple playboy. And when I already know everything, I changed. I changed a lot that I’ve become hard headed, selfish, etc. I even have my very first failing grades.
But times went by, everything is perfect again. I learn how to be responsible, appreciate little things, and to accept the fact that nothing’s perfect in life. And now, I already have a little brother and a half baby brother and baby sister.”
