Contest - My Childhood!!! (19/3/2024)

Childhood is the period between infancy and puberty. It is between the age of 1 to 17 or 18 years. During childhood, children are as free as a bird in the sky with no responsibilities, their work is to play and sleep while parents provide and care for them. At childhood, children are dependent on their parents and guardians and they are vulnerable and are meant to be protected. Memories of childhood can be fun or full or resume because of what a child faced. My childhood was a memorable one which I enjoyed and treasure till date. I grew up with my paternal grandmother because my parents were always busy at work. My childhood was spent at my home town in a house filled with relations and friends and full of activities. I enjoyed travelling on holidays to Lagos and at other times, to the village. I enjoyed playing with dolls and also riding bicycle around my compound. I enjoyed playing hide and seek at home. I also have memories of visiting the village where we will sit outside under the moonlight and tell stories. At childhood, I had no worries about what the future holds because everything was provided for me, and no responsibility of supporting the family. Rather, few times, I use to find myself in serious issues because of playing pranks. Sometimes, I'll act sick because when I'm sick, whatever I ask to eat or drink, my granny will provide just to make sure I recover soon. While others were fasting, as a child, I wasn't allowed to. I was pampered to some extent and I still treasure every moment I spent with my late paternal grandmother. I also have memories of celebration of birthdays where my friends would come join me to eat and drink.
