My childhood memory
No one can deny that childhood memories are one of the most memorable in our brains. I
have grown up in a nice and little family in a little village named Providencia, there I used
to play with Lucho and Paco. They were my best friends of my childhood. Every day we
spent time together getting wet in the rain or climbing trees.
I have forgotten the most of details of my childhood, however, I remember this memory,
when I was 6 years old approximately, I fell from an orange tree. In my dad’s farm, there
was many fruit trees because the place where I lived the weather is warm. One day Lucho,
Paco and I were climbing trees when suddenly it started raining, they went down quickly
but I sliced and fell, I dislocated my shoulder and my dad had to drive to the hospital
that day and for two months I stayed at home and I couldn’t play with my friends. That
accident made me extra careful whenever I climb a tree.
In conclusion, my childhood was one of the greatest and funniest moments in my life.
