That moment when I almost died under that train became one unforgettable experience that carved inside my memories. In my childhood, there is always something I can play with. My mom would buy me toys and other recreation equipment. However, something new catches my eyes and attracted me inside of it. A set of game card was created for teenagers to play. There is a name list of different hero characters from one to a hundred and number one is the strongest. . The rules for this card are simple. Two people place their card face down and flip the card the same time. The card will belong to you if your opponent’s card is weaker. These types of play cards are not sold individually or in certain package. It is only hidden in a type …show more content…
We built our house only few steps away from it. The surroundings of our house are peaceful and quite. The trees are swing softly through the breeze and the birds are hunting for food for its children. Yet, the least of perfection is that noise when the train passes through the track every night. I can feel my bed is shaking along with the ground. There is no track or sidewalk that allow people to walk. The only path we have is created by footsteps under the track. There were no protections or barriers and blocks people from trespassing unlike today. As a result, that train track became one of my playgrounds. I would usually play around with my friends on the track. Sometimes, I would take those metal nails in my house and place it on the track so when the train is coming through, it presses the nail and become a metal sword. The rain has gone and the sun appears from the layers of cloud. I can’t wait to go to the grocery store to by that snack and see which card I can get. I was like a wild horse that escaped from reins and got …show more content…
All of a sudden I heard some one shouted at me, I felt strange at the moment but I notice there was a neighbor who was waving her hands at me and she seemed a little anxious and hurry. Then she screamed again “ watch out for the train”! That was when I noticed the train was only a couple seconds away from me. I ran as fast as I could despite the mud and water that spilled on me. It was that few second that I ran between life and death. Then I realized I almost got myself killed from that train. Perhaps god doesn’t want me to die, I’m glad that lady showed up on in time and saved my life, otherwise I wouldn’t be here alive.

In conclusion, looking back from what I had been thorough was risking and dangerous. A slight negligence may leads to severe consequences. I was putting all my energy and time in to that game but careless to others. Game can be set as a recreational activity to relax. However, spending most of the time on it is unwise and waste of time. That experience was a bell that knocks the warning in my head and I’ll never forget the lesson that I learned from

    “Tramps, Hobos, Beats and Crusties” There is something romantic about hearing the sound of a train in the distance. It has a way of enticing the imagination--it conjures up sepia images of hardship and freedom, and leaves us with an unexplained longing. It is as if the railroad links us to our country’s past, a nostalgic reminder that some things never change. In 2008 I spent the better part of a year hopping freight and hitchhiking from Maine to Washington. Although I only rode a handful of trains, I learned a great deal about the culture that surrounds train hopping.…

He shows us that play is not all just fun and games, but it can also be used to development different milestones, play can also be used to make sense of the world around us, and different types of play can have therapeutic and psychological remedies to help children.
