REMINISCING MEMORIES

Childhood days, in my opinion, are all about the events that occurred before you reached the
age of a teenager. I can barely recall my childhood days since they are long gone, but based on what my
mother tells me about basic situations from my childhood days, I was a kid who valued happiness and
friendship above all else.

I was born in Sultan Kudarat, not here in Kidapawan, and we lived in rural areas where seeing
hospitals, tall structures, or large institutions was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Despite the challenges
and financial difficulties, we lived in a happy and enjoyable environment. Our house is not next to our
neighbors; in reality, I believe it is 300-500 meters distant. I grew up in a deprived family where even the
smallest gestures were greatly valued. My parents were both farmers, and we depend on them to live
and prosper. We have a large number of animals in our home, including hundreds of chickens, pigs, cats,
and, of course, dogs. Every morning, we eat the eggs of our local chickens as our breakfast.

Because of the coldness of our weather when I was in kindergarten, I recall that when I took a
morning bath, the water was combined with hot water. Since I am a kinder, when I go to school, which is
in our barangay hall, I typically walk for around 1km every day, but with my classmates. I learned how to
be self-sufficient at that age, and when I graduated from kindergarten, I was able to be a valedictorian.
Until I became a grade one student, the love and pleasure I had in kindergarten was multiplied when I
was in grade one when I met new students and was shocked by how many there were in our
classrooms. I love playing games and laughing with my peers at lunch or recess, and I suppose that is
something I will always recall.

But I'm not like the other students who graduated from the same school; I transferred schools in
second grade, then again in third grade, and stayed there until I graduated from elementary school. And
it was this thing that took us to Tacurong City. In that area, I realized that there is still a lot of fun and
pleasure to be had and felt; I made a lot of friends there, but I also learned making enemies, which is so
cruel. Despite the fact that I have changed school, I have maintained my grades and am still an honor
student. There, I played tumbang lata, Chinese garter, hide and seek, and other games every lunchbreak
or recess.
 But the time in my life that I had a crush that lasted four years was the most memorable. The
thrill I get every time I go to school, as well as the feeling you get when your classmates taunt you about
your crush, is very amazing and fun. I had a lot of fun when I was younger, and I believe that I have had
enough of the opportunities that a kid should have. Nothing is more valuable than being naturally
happy. We moved here in Kidapawan City after I graduated from grade 6 there due to family obligations.

2. Objective Essay #2

The children these days are too hard to even consider teaching. They don't have regard for their
folks or for some other grown-up. Thus guardians don't have the foggiest idea what to do and urgent.
Due to this they can't discover alternate way out than beating the children. This can be extremely
helpful sometimes and in a controlled way, yet in the event that you surpass it can cause major issues in
the child and furthermore in the family. All in all, is it important to beat children to instruct them?

First and foremost, if you rigorously discipline a little child, hitting and rebuking him, you will have
control of him and will be able to predict that he will grow up well and will learn to respect his parents
and other people. It's much easier to teach him good habits, which is any father's hope, so they figure
out that this is the only way to teach him.

With this procedure, the child also starts to develop a strong personality and character. This will
come in handy in the future, as he will be able to face problems and concerns without being fearful or
paranoid. For example, if you have a boy at school that you know was adored as a child and who spends
the whole day hugging his mother and doing other things, you can almost guarantee that he will be
incredibly shy and that no one will respect him. This is due to the fact that those who were raised in this
manner had a weak temperament, which can be very unpleasant and painful for an adult child.

However, guardians sometimes try to punish and beat his child, blind to the damage they are
bringing to his own child. All of this has the potential to trigger genuine emotional and mental problems
in the child. These brain problems hide behind the deep and hard persona of some of them, but no one
notices. As a result, children develop psychological problems at school and lose friends before they are
left alone. And everyone understands what happens to a child who is alone: he will slip into a downward
spiral and miss out on the best years of his life.
