Improved Essays
In order to understand my crucible we will have to encroach into my childhood. The trail that i had to endure in my youth. I wasn't able to fully enjoy my childhood as a kid. There were many downsides of not being able to do what other kids did. During the early years of my childhood i had to mature faster then most kids in this country. I was never allowed to go out in front of my house for any reason. I couldn't make trouble with anybody and anywhere. Although there were barely any downsides to this but sports was also something else that i wasn't able to enjoy until now. I may of not had the best childhood but i didn't have the worst one either. There was a sense of behoove that i had to pick up. Now to start where it all began.
