Childhood Memories
Childhood memories are special for everyone. I have a very happy memory of my childhood and always reminisce it with nostalgia. I was born and brought up in a small family which included my mother, father, and my elder sister. I have very fond memories of us sisters playing in our backyard, climbing trees to pluck fruits, going to parks and beaches and enjoying life in general. My father was a government servant and my mother a housewife. Of all the memories, one particular memory is very important and taught me the importance of saving money.

One summer, my sister was suddenly taken ill. She had to be hospitalized and the doctors advised us that she needed an emergency surgery. The surgery was very costly. My father did not earn a very high salary and it was very difficult for us to raise that amount of money suddenly. Luckily, my father and mother had a habit of saving small amount of money regularly. This money was not touched but kept aside in case of emergencies. This amount turned out to be the exact amount required for the surgery and recuperation of my sister.

We were helped by the good habit of saving practiced by my parents. Before this incident, I was a spendthrift and use to spend all of my pocket money. This incident changed my way of thinking. I started to save even a little bit from my pocket money. I took to heart the saying, "Little drops of water makes the mighty ocean." Till today, I save money in whatever way I can. I have impressed upon my children the importance of saving money and have got them to do the

    Childhood Innocence

    • 834 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I have checked all over the internet for a direct definition of childhood innocence, however even the Merriam-Webster dictionary does not have a definition of childhood innocence. I guess you could look up the two words separately and link the definition together. Childhood is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as “the state or period of being a child”. Innocence is defined as “the state of being not guilty of a crime or other wrong act”. So childhood innocence could mean the state of being a child without being guilty of a crime or wrong act. When thinking of and defining childhood innocence, one may believe it’s a state of being carefree, pure of heart, and most importantly its very fragile. Childhood innocence is inspirational and should be protected from evils that surround it because it easily taken away.…

    People our age in today’s society are all about living a certain type of lifestyle, from what we wear, the late night partying, to eating tons of fast food and having relationships. We tend to lose track of our spending habits and blow away all of our money instead of saving. Saving money is a very good habit that we should be practicing from an early age. This is why from a young age our parents try to encourage us to save by giving us piggy banks. The ability to save money is the cornerstone of building wealth and at this point of our lives building wealth should be our prime goal and motivation as we are on the verge of leaving the only financial protection and security which are our parents/ guardians. This is the main reason as to why we all are here today sitting in this very class, to build wealth, and what better way to build ourselves than to build our wallets, bank accounts, or for some under our mattresses, then to save money.

    Memories are a funny thing. They are the mental and emotional ties that we have to the past. Without photographs or videos, memories are all we have to recall significant moments throughout our lives. Whether it is a momentous life achievement, or a simple snap shot of being happy or sad, memories live within our psyche. They are not tangible objects; they are not even exact or clear. They are fuzzy scenes in our minds that we hold on to because they evoke certain emotions or signify some kind of importance. Or maybe you have some memories stowed away and the reason has yet to be revealed. The most interesting and complex element to memories is that they are easily interfered with. While time and age are the most obvious…
