Remembered event
Growing up for me was one of the best occurrences that made my life interesting. I got to explore things that meant so much to me, that included items and equipment in the house. My parents’ support made me feel that I was doing the right thing. Like a chick which hides under its mother’s feathers, I would always run to my mother whenever I messed up things, for instance when they started crumbling down. I would also be devastated when things did not work out for me and my experiments failed. This always made me sad as I felt as if I was a failure. However, life did not stop at any instance to let me continue enjoying the toddler things. I had to undergo changes that were meant to make me better and grow into the man I am today. However I do recall some of those instances that I find interesting about my childhood. When I was eight years old, it was the best time for me to leave home and become a pupil in a junior school. This was the worst thing that ever happened in my life. I felt as if all the weight on earth was being laid on my back. I had to leave my mother at home and go spend time with other kids in school. I hated everything about school at that time and no matter how hard my parents tried to convince me that it was good for me to be at school, I still could not take it.

I hated everything about school at that time and no matter how hard my parents tried to convince me that it was good for me to be at school, I still could not take it. Why did I have to go to school when I was that young? I could not fathom this and in some way I felt as if I was being thrown away from home where I loved most. My home was my paradise and the place where I felt secure. Taking me away from
home changed everything, school was hell to me at that time since I was not used to that kind of life.
Every new person was more of a new event that was taking place in my life and in most cases
I hated them. I loathed the teachers since they could not allow me to do something that my parents always allowed me to do. They were also strict to an extent that I had to forego some of the things I used to do back then. This made me feel discriminated since most of the things
I did were wrong according to everyone in this new environment. My mind always boiled with fury since I could not even understand the essence of school. I started hating my parents for having allowed me, their kid, to go through such hardships. Eventually, I had to love everything that was happening around me and this was not an option but the only choice I had. I therefore started engaging in events such as games, socializing with other kids and talking to my teachers. This became fun and I loved being in this place. Everything was happening so rapidly that I could not even understand the drastic changes that took place in my life. Curiosity took the better part of me and I got interested in learning new things that were being introduced to us. Learning was a good experience and it gave me a chance to explore a whole new world that I realized when I got into the system.
Now I know how my parents loved me by taking me into that school where I was able to learn with different kids and to grow up knowing that there are different people in the world and the only way we can live peacefully is through accommodating each other’s differences.
When I reached high school, I joined HOSA (Health Occupation of America) and NHS
(National Honor Society) clubs which I actively participated into. They enabled me to gain workplace readiness, develop enthusiasm, and I also obtained awards of recognition for the participation in these clubs. I also took part in volunteering in MOSI (Museum Of Science and
Industry), this enabled me to become more outstanding and gain good public relation skills.
