My Childhood

In my 18 years’ life,my childhood is an important part of me.I formed my personality and also gained a lot during this period.

My earliest memory is when I was 3 years old. My father and mother both are high school Chinese teachers,so I lived in the beautiful campus with my parents. I still remember the scene when my mother called me to get up with the warm sunshine and the birds whistling outside the window. The school was omn the mountain,so it was an excellent place for my friends and I to play games. We always got together to play hide and seek which brought me much happiness.What’s more,we sometimes climbed trees on a sunny day or slid down the water pipes to spend our afternoon.  When the sun was setting my mother's shouting voice filled the mountain,I was reluctant to leave the place where we had a lot of fun. Playing and enjoying my careless time is my life before 6 years old.

When I was seven many things changed. My mother received a new job in another place which is 2 hours’  drive away from my hometown. So I went with my mother to go to primary school. It seemed like a dream that I suddenly found life had become difficult. We rented a small house and bought some simple furniture.Everything was new to me ,new house,new school and also new feelings. Father still worked in my hometown,so he went to see mother and me every weekends. I was extremely happy  to see my father and spent a lot of time with him. Mother taught senior 3 in high school,so every morning she must got up early to attend the morning classes. Because of this,I went to school with my mother at 5 o’clock and had a break at her office till primary school opened the door. During this period,I encountered many difficulties which taught me that life is not always filled with happiness .Till now ,I still appreciate the difficult time I once had came across,it helped me become independent and thankful. 3 years later,father found a new job and our family members finally got together.

When I look back at my childhood,the most suitable words to describe it are pain and joy . With these experiences,I grew fearless and brave.
