When I was making this activity, I felt mixed emotions. I

was laughing when I saw my picture when I was in elementary. I
honestly don’t have a baby picture nor photos when I was a child
and I never thought that I do have one in our batch’s group chat.
When I opened this activity, at first I was concerned on where
can I get a photo of me during my elementary days, but when I
tried to check our old group chats, I finally found one. I was
laughing at first but then I felt a bit emotional when I realized
how my smile was so pure and sweet. I can now call that picture
as “My Most Unproblematic Photo.”
I just realized how time flew so fast. By comparing the
three photos, I could say that I’m totally different now. From
the way I dress, the size of my body, and my height. These
changes are not only in my physical appearance but also the way I
think, the way I deal with life, I’m getting matured day by day.
There were lots changes and I am proud to say that I’m better now
and still working on becoming the better version of myself. And
one thing that I am thankful of is that I don’t regret anything
from my past. I had an amazing childhood, I experienced true
happiness and met a lot of friends when I was in high school, and
right now that I’m in college, maturity is starting to hit, I’m
getting serious in life, I’m working to build my future, and
craving for a successful life.
Maybe if I could send a message to everybody especially to
kids, I would tell them to enjoy their lives, to treasure every
moment, to value little things, to capture everything, their
favorite places, and to take photos of themselves. Why? Because
one day, they will wake up and realize that they are no
longer a child. They will miss everything during their childhood.
