383 Words Essay on My Childhood Days by Shruti


• digg

My childhood days were filled with fun and laughter, like those of most children. We lived in a big house with my paternal grandparents and my uncle’s family. Though I had an elder brother, I was closer to my cousins. My elder brother was a serious type who didn’t want to hang out with girls.
He had a face like a magistrate too which could really intimidate me. My cousins were a couple of years younger than me and we got along like a house on fire. I was also very close to my aunt. As my mother was a doctor, she was hardly around most of the time.
My aunt was a housewife and she looked after me as well. In fact, only if she accompanied me, I would go to the nursery. She could sing well and was a great storyteller. I used to envy my cousins so much for having a mother like her.
My grandfather was a forbidding figure and we children as well as our parents were afraid of him. He was a powerful man who moved among rich and influential people. When he was at home we had to keep quiet and see that we did not disturb him. But he was fond of us in his own way.
There was a room on the third storey of our use which was our play room. Here my cousins and I used to spend many a lazy afternoon playing games and plucking mangoes and jamba from tree branches close to the windows. Or we would slide down the banisters, one after the other.
Every year the entire family went on a vacation to some place. It was even more fun then. One thing I remember vividly about my childhood is my reluctance to go to school. Every day I would make some new excuse to stay away until my father had to come and spank me. I also remember the succession of tuition teachers who came to teach me Math.
I was very fond of one, an Anglo-Indian called Eva. She was very pretty and kind. But the happiness ended when my

    My childhood wasn’t all that bad. In fact, it was great, up until my parents, Milinda and Steve Walker, took me to see the circus. It was in Tennessee and it was a hot night in August. They felt like it would broaden my horizons because I had never been to one before. It was a blast to see the…

    During that time we lived in a studio in my grandpas house. The school i attended at the time was Dwight eisenhower elementary. Everyone thought i was a genius because i got 4 diplomas at the trimester awards while everyone got two or one. What i remember the most from living with my grandpa was every weekend he used to knock at our door at 7 am just to come talk to us. It was annoying because he wouldn't stop until we opened the door. He was always so eager to spend time with his grandkid. It was nice being the only child,but then came 2006 and i was no longer the queen of the house. Before i knew it in 2008 we had another package included into my family. Our family was growing rapidly so my parents decided to move out into a much bigger house, which is where i live today. I moved to a new school called carrillo ranch elementary. Everything was pretty smooth, no worries, no stress, and easy going such as in the beginning of a roller…

    My Aunt Caprice owned a large house and a couple acres of land which my brother and I would roam anytime we visited. Every Christmas Eve my mother would drive us over to Aunt Caprice’s house to visit her family and other close family friends. My Uncle Roger would take me around the property and let me collect chicken eggs for him. This taught me the value of hard work and was a humbling experience for me in my youth. My cousins, Bryan and Brent were very close to my brother and I, we would often hang out in the backyard either jumping on the trampoline or playing video games with each other. Some of my favorite memories were spent at that house, especially on Christmas to see family or just to go over and watch Dallas Cowboys games with…

    As an avid reader, I’ve been in many characters’ shoes like Bella and her love triangle in Twilight or Hamlet and his abyss of madness in Hamlet. However, I’ve always struggled to connect with characters that have close sibling relationships because I never had a Hansel to my Gretel or a Ron to my Ginny Weasley. I was born six years after my brother, Oscar, making it difficult for us to develop an inseparable bond like other siblings. When I was still listening to Taylor Swift, Oscar was already reciting lyrics to explicit rap music and hanging out with friends after school. Our parents treated us differently as well. Oscar was what my mother deemed as the “mistake child.” She often expressed her regrets of not pushing him harder in his academics. As a result, my brother’s grades suffered from his indifference towards school to the point where he was even held back a grade.…

    When I was young, I hated how my parents would treat me compared to my brothers. My parents where strict, you had to follow the rules or you were grounded, no exceptions, no excuses. My brothers rules were laid back but I had stricter rules and punishment. My brothers were put on a pedestal, while me being the only daughter was put on a different type of pedestal. Now that I am older, I understand and thankful that my parents were strict, because I wouldn’t be who I am today without those strict rules.…

    My cousins and I would always be together, Literally 24/7. Sometimes we would fight and i look back and remember and i think it's the funniest thing in the world, we still bring our little arguments up to this day to have a real good laugh, but having so many different personalities around made my life so much fun. If we weren't outside playing with the water hose getting in trouble with our great grandmother for wasting water or playing tag or Hide And Go Seek, We’d be inside watching cartoons while our Aunts were having extremely loud Conversations in the kitchen and the Men were outside talking about football or something. My favorite memory of my childhood was when i would get to go to my grandmother's house every Saturday with my close family around to eat either Barbacoa or homemade Menudo.…

    All I remember was how it looked like a ghost town. There were hardly any cars on the road and nothing looked open.. This was not what I was used to. We checked into our room at the Holiday Inn, our new house for a little over a month while finding a house to buy, and I shortly fell asleep, being exhausted from our 12 hour journey. Me, my mom, stepdad, sister, and my cat were all crammed into a little, one room, hotel with two beds and one bathroom, I was miserable. For about a week and a half, a played hookie and helped my mom house hunt. Eventually, she decided I had been out of school long enough. That next morning, my mom pulled me into Guntersville Middle School. I was worried because I was ridiculously shy and figured I would have an extremely hard time making friends, but oh was I wrong. Before homeroom was over everyone in the sixth grade class knew there was a ‘new girl from Texas’. That’s when I met Charlie Conner and Anna…

    In florida I got to get close with people I would never have met if my parent had not let me go on this once in a lifetime opportunity trip. In florida we spent every day every minute every second doing something. Whether it swimming, shopping, or all five teenagers sleeping together. The first couple of days we spent every waking moment of the sun swimming in a resort. We also went to a local Florida amusement park. The best part of the amusement park was not the rides or that I can in second in gokarting but that everyone who went was wearing White Chuck Taylors. I unfortunately missed Mason's third birthday but I made it up with going on a helicopter ride with Manny and his cousin Willie. That same day we went to Hooters and the Sugar Factory for our first time. The day was one to never forget. Our last three days we did not take our eyes off the TV because we were having Horror Movie Marathon. The couch was…

    Once we got to the apartment my sister and I went to the room with the old shaky bunk beds, we made the beds and unpacked all of our belongings before taking much needed showers and dozing off. The next day we went to KidZania and to go see the play Mary Poppins in Spanish. I really loved that but part of me longed my parent and little sister to be there to share the experience. The next day my sister and I wanted to go swimming, so we went to the greatest water park in all of Latin America. The park larger than any other place we went, the smell of chlorine and fun, called for me to come play.…

    My relationship with my grandma was a great one. I’d like to think it was better than most because she was more of a mother figure. My father passed away when I was only 15 months old and needless to say I spent a lot of time with her growing up. I loved the stories she told of her travels around the country, seeing every state except for Alaska. She would tell about the events in history she was alive for. I especially enjoyed hearing stories from when my mom was a child and the other children in the family. One of my favorite pastimes was taking day trips to Reelfoot Lake and being told stories all the way there and all the way back. Oh how I wish I could remember all of those wonderful stories.…
