them. I was born in Baguio but raised in Isabela. during weekends I and my neighbors that became my
friends go to the river and eat guava and after that, we will be playing this so-called paya paya,
tumbang preso, lapngit lupa, and etc. We had no smartphones to enjoy mobile legends and call of
duty at our disposal, but we were perfectly happy with our teks, pogs and Chinese garters. We had no
problem keeping ourselves entertained with even the most mundane things, such as sticks, rubber
bands, tires with a little resourcefulness and imagination, we were able to turn practically anything
into toys. One thing that excites us is that riding at kalabaw and or kariton whenever we saw seniors
are coming home from the farm. Nilagang kamote is our snack every 3 pm paired with Juice. When I
was a child, I always wanted to be like my mother that one day, I’m able to start going to school,
graduate, married, and have a job. My elementary days were great, eight years was successful, no
stress no problems where we don't have to compete with others. what I learned during elementary
school was that to enjoy my education, respect everyone, reading different kinds of books that might
help me to look at my future career and how can I be fulfilled my future dreams. We all have
memories that we cherish, both from the past and from the present. I still can still remember songs
playing on loudspeakers when I close my eyes. These feelings and memories are priceless. I wish if I
could go back to my past and see childhood again, that would be amazing. But I know it’s not possible.
I miss my childhood a lot. Memories get us through the tough times and keep us going on the good
ones. The past is what shapes who we are today. It influences how we act, how we treat others, and
simply what we do.
