Childhood memories
My early childhood was filled with nice celebrations, such as, flying kites in the afternoon, skipping nap time on summer afternoons to go to pick fruits together, or taking trips to visit my grandparents by bicycle, etc. However, there were also some sad childhood experiences which had a great amount of influence on me.
I remember when I was in seventh grade my family was very poor, and we didn’t have enough money to pay for anything in life. My oldest brother needed a lot of money to study at the University in HCM, so my parents left our hometown to go to work in Ho Chi Minh City, one of the largest cities in my country. As a result, I had to live with my second oldest brother. Our life lacked everything; there was not enough money to buy books, food, or electronics, etc., because my parents only sent about 500VND for us per month. We knew, however, that they were trying to improve our lives. Sometimes, I cried because I missed and loved them. After two years my second oldest brother also went to HCM to study. My life got even worse because then I had to live alone and at night I became afraid of everything: ghosts, thieves, etc. However, when my oldest brother graduated, things began to improve. He worked and helped my family improve in life.
This childhood story left a deep impression on me by teaching me to take care of myself.
