Contest- My Childhood!!! [Season2]
Greetings to all steamians of this amazing community. How is your day going.. how all is well. I remain @mbetobongluke from Nigeria and I'm super excited to participate in this contest organized by @shiftitamanna my regards to her.
Let me have a share with you guys.
Did you enjoy your childhood?
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed my childhood. It was a time filled with curiosity, discovery, and imaginationand that's why it's easier to put smile in a child than adult. Whether it was exploring new places, learning new things, or simply playing with toys and games, there was always something exciting to do each time I remember my childhood memories, it gladens My heart. There are alot of my childhood memories I wish time and travel back so I can relate ilwith it again. Though My childhood also had its challenges, but those experiences shaped who I am today. The freedom to explore, make mistakes, and learn at my own pace made it a very fulfilling time in my life. In my childhood days, I didn't grow in pains unlike now that I'm struggling to relate with things of the world especially my goals. Whatsoever it may cost now, if time permit, I would love to relate with it again.
What was your first childhood memory?
Now I have to crack My brain... My first childhood memory is a vivid one. I remember being very young, perhaps around three or four years old, and feeling a sense of wonder as I looked up at the night sky.i can now get to recur that I was with my family, and we were outside, enjoying a quiet evening together with a spread of mat in the floor beneath an orange tree. I pay more attention in looking at the star. The stars seemed so bright and close, and I was fascinated by their beauty but no one noticed what I was doing. The star catch quit long my attention.That memory has stayed with me as a symbol of the simple joys of childhood—being present in the moment and marveling at the world around me. It happens to be one of my nice memory as it reflex my goals in life today.
Did you have a lot of friends when you were young?
Yes, maybe I should start by seeing I was an extrovert and I still remain an extrovert. Without going far, the answer is well cleared. I was fortunate to have a good number of friends during my childhood. I shared countless time with them from playing games in the neighborhood especially football to embarking on imaginary quests.i was also override with friends who dedicated 70% of their time to games(playtime) and there's no regrets about that.i also see that having friends was important because it taught me the value of teamwork, empathy, communication and most especially how to settle quarrel without keeping malice with anyone unlike adulthood stage. As this keep growing up, Each friend brought something unique to the table, and our diverse personalities made our time together even more enriching. Those friendships were crucial in shaping my social skills and giving me a sense of belonging I wish there's a generation of such again.
Do you think it is better for children to grow up in cities or villages?
I am a case study of one growing in the village. My choice in growing up in the village is personal as few regret if any. The question is more or less like a debate..., the question of whether it's better for children to grow up in cities or villages is complex, as different people have different view of it. The intellectual of a child in the village and the one in town has a significant different as both environments offer distinct advantages. We see that growing up in a city can provide children with access to a wide range of educational resources, cultural experiences, and social opportunities. Cities are are more or less like hubs of diversity, where children can learn about different cultures, languages, and other perspectives. On the other hand, growing up in a village can offer a close-knit community atmosphere, where children are more connected to nature and traditional ways of life. Villages often provide a quieter, slower-paced environment, which can be beneficial for a child’s emotional and mental well-being. All and all, I think the best environment depends on various factors, as we cannot do away with the child’s personality, the family's values, and the opportunities available in each setting. Though both cities and villages can be ideal/good places to grow up, depending on how the experiences are framed and supported by the family and community. But for this question as asked;
Aside from the traditional way of life,I think cities has greater advantages in moulding a child than village. In city, you tend to mingle with different people in all works of life which is quite interesting and also, get updated about things of the world.
Therefore, in today's digital world, I prefer growing up in cities than town.
I would love the following friends to participate in this contest,
