Trip Down Memory Lane
Sarah Bianca V. Sarita

How would you feel if you’re a young child again? No pile of homework, problem, and
heartache. Everything just seems bright and perfect. If given a chance, I would go back to my
childhood years.
I believe childhood is the best period of life. It is the era of innocence. It is more on
happiness instead of sorrow. Do you still remember when there was always a smile on our faces as
the wind brushed through our hair? Or the different kinds of pain when we fell on our bicycles? The
sweet agony, indeed. At least we learned to continue moving forward. Likewise, the feeling of victory
when we finally reached the largest fruit after several attempts of climbing the mango tree. Those
were the days when simplicity brings so much contentment.
I am certain that childhood is the greatest stage of our life because we used to run and play
like there’s no tomorrow. Countless street games surely marked our hearts, not just our knees and
elbows. The warmth of the sun could not stop us from beating our opponents, especially if it was a
heated match. But our excitement grew more when raindrops started to wet the grass. It meant
something else, an unexplainable feeling. We just enjoyed every moment of our life. Being a child
also means forgiving and forgetting. We might have fights, but we tend to forgive and forget easily.

50. The above essay is an example of a persuasive essay. What is a persuasive essay?
