Narrative Essay On Being A Kid

Decent Essays
I honestly really enjoyed being a kid. I would like to believe I had a wonderful childhood, it was always fun and exciting. I remember my childhood almost as if they weren’t mine, as if they are from a movie because they are so vivid and clear. Not sure if it shows I had a fairly good memory or just a great childhood in general. I would like to think both. All those included in my life when I was young are usually in awe when I tell them of the memories I still have. For example, I remember the day my brother was born clearly as if I can almost place myself there. I think I would have been around three years old and maybe 3 months old and I can almost still place myself in some of the memories if I try hard enough. For the most part if I sit …show more content…
There were more than likely more than twelve kids in or around my house each day. Some were neighbors, some were family friends, and some were kids I knew from school. For the most part, since it was my house, I tried to stay away at my best friends’ house who lived a street over. I spent the majority of my time at their house as a kid. I would go over to their house each and every day after school. Most of the time we would stay inside and play video games, like guitar hero and sonic the hedgehog, but there would be times where we would go out and do other things. Such as swimming in their pool, we would ride on their four-wheelers through the woods behind our house, they had tubs of train tracks and legos we would play with sometimes and fill the entire basement up with towers and tracks, we would jump on the trampoline at the neighbor 's house, we would ride bikes a lot, even once packed backpacks like we were going to be just like the adventurers of life and explore the woods behind our house with our trusty steed, max the dog. Basically anything and everything we did it at some point. I believe there were even times where we attempted to build an actual fort inside the woods behind the house and played games like spies at night time when we were all dressed in black from head to toe. It sucks though all of it had to end because it was time to grow up and focus on school and I think maybe they still weren’t on the same level about school and we began to drift apart. Still, though, I will hold and cherish these memories for the rest of my life and I hope with everything inside me I can provide a childhood as great as mine to my children whenever they come

    Since there was only 3 of us (Me, Daniel and Alex), the person with the most stuff would choose who they'd want to team up with. They'd usually team up with the person with the second most amount of stuff. Most of the times me and Alex would team up against Daniel, while he would pout and plead for someone to team with him for once, but other nights we would come home and play games with our parent like Uno or Crazy Eight's, or play our own games like House. Taking a walk through the golf course was like a routine. Their family would drive over just as mine finished dinner, and when they left both families would go to bed.…

    When I was six years old, I started to get moved around from house to house. I lived in North Chicago, Illinois in a 3-bedroom red and burgundy colored house. I loved playing in the basement with my cousins and sister. We would hang a white hanger from the ceiling to act as a basketball hoop and use balled up socks to shoot baskets. We would stay down there until my granny called us up for dinner.…

    The author's major claims were that in the song "Backseat Freestyle" Lamar is rapping as his as his teen, not a gangbanger, saying "I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower / so I can fuck the world for 72 hours''. The author claims he is rapping as a teenager trying to impress his friends, not as a gangbanger. The author, also, states in the music video it's mostly about teen Kendrick rapping, but for a few seconds it cuts to an expressionless adult Kendrick where there is the trope of women with a big butt shaking her bum, then it cuts back to teenage Lamar.…

    Me being the oldest by a few months and a girl everyone put me into the role of caretaker. I would cook, clean, and take care of the youngest children and although I hated the fact that she couldn’t take care of them herself, and I couldn’t be the kid I was supposed to be, I loved caring for them. Helping them with their day to day things like doing their hair in the morning created a special bond that couldn't be broken. My favorite thing though was tucking them into bed. We all shared a room in the beginning as our parents' couldn’t afford much else, but tucking them in giving them a kiss on the forehead felt like a sense of accomplishment that we made it through another day.…

    Pharrell Williams once said that "If you go with fear you will fail. But if you go with faith you will be fine. You are capable of so much". This quote, along with many others written in the margins of my notebooks, exemplifies the emotional battle that is constantly occurring inside my head. I believe that not one single event truly signified the life-long transition from childhood to adulthood in my life, rather my view of the world and those around me changed drastically as I aged.…
