Something that surprised me the most in this radio interview about the teenage brain was how adolescents have a higher risk of substance addiction compared to adults (Jensen & Gross‚ 2015). Substances are more toxic and permanent on teenage brains than adult brains (Jensen & Gross‚ 2015).

Childhood Memory Childhood is full of imagination and memories. My fondest childhood memory would have to be when I was around four years old. At that time‚ I had a stuffed frog.

The memories of my early childhood are like scattered‚ partially lost pieces of a huge mosaic. I am only five‚ and instead of sleeping late like other kids would do‚ I don’t want to stay in bed‚ don’t want to miss the mystery‚ the beauty of the world’s awakening. My older brother and cousins are up already and drag their bare feet on the wooden floor.

dictionary defines memory as the mental capacity or faculty of retaining and reviving facts‚ events‚ and impressions‚ or of recalling or recognizing previous experiences.

But from the day I stepped into that class‚ the one they call kindergarten‚ I knew it‚ “English” would be the beginning of a lifelong migraine. Vietnamese; that is the language I speak.
