In the end of my school day, when I was home all afternoons I used to do my homework and after I used to play with my dolls. Sometimes I used to go to my friend’s home to play, and sometimes they came to my home.
I think that I had a really nice childhood. I didn’t have any kind of problems, and I enjoyed all my childhood. I very really nice memories about my childhood.
My first recollection of my childhood is the day I toppled down the stairs when I was five years old. I was so upset that I cried and cried for nearly an hour in spite of my parents' attempts at comforting me. Finally, I quietened down when I was given ice-cream and chocolates. Luckily, I was not hurt.
My days were happy ones before I started going to school, as I had good neighbours to play with from morning till evening. We played games outdoors, secreted and Ankle game and Pursuit and wrestle. I was very sleigh sliding winter. There were also other games to occupy our time.
At the age of six years, I had to attend kindergarten and this turned out to be quite an ordeal for me. To begin with, I felt very sad having to leave my mother and go off each morning to be amongst strangers. I cried and wanted my mother around, much to my teacher's displeasure. As the days went by, however, I made friends easily in class and found company. I became happy again and actually looked forward to leaving the house each morning.
I still remember those days when I was learning to ride a horse. I fell and bruised myself several times but I never gave up. Finally, I was able to join my friends going around the neighbourhood on my horse.
Another fond memory is the end-of-year concert held at the kindergarten. I became a celebrity overnight receiving lots of compliments for my performance.
I now realise what a wonderful childhood I have had and at times wish I could relive those days.
