My 5th birthday
My 5th birthday is 1 of my earliest memories and is the first birthday
I can remember I don't know why it has stuck in my memory so much but
I can remember it like it was yesterday.
It started very early in the morning around 5 am which is ridiculously
early to be getting up and you wouldn't catch me getting up that early
these days, but at the time I was used to it because my mum worked at
night and my dad started work about 6 so I used to have to go round my
next door neighbors house till my mum got home at about 8, the lady
next door was called Maureen she was about 50 and she was quite tiny
and had short gray hair. I remember her to be very kind, she had a
colossal collection of video's that she let me watch every morning and
she would always offer drinks, biscuits, cakes and anything you could
think of really, her kitchen was the Aladdin's cave of cuisine and
provisions.
On the morning of my birthday my dad came in my room picked me up to
carry me across to next door. I was still asleep not really knowing
what was going on around me until the fearsome freeze of the early
morning hit me round the head, winded me, then chopped off my fingers
and toe's. My dad rushed to get me to Maureen's house as quick as he
could when I got in there me and my dad sat down and had a goblet of
rosy lea (tea) with Maureen before he had to dash off to work, then
she whipped out a bowl of piping hot ready break which is like a kids
version of porridge with a ton of sugar and a blab of milk it was
lovely, I munched it down like a frog would a fly, I was still pretty
drowsy so I had a snooze on the couch. When I awoke a gigantic box
wrapped in lime green packaging was stood in the center of the room, I
She had always loved food and enjoyed learning how to make it. In fact, when she was little, she would watch her mom bake these delicious pastries and want to do the same. Fast forward to the end of senior year, she arrived at The Culinary Institute of

morning I knew that I had to do something so I went around trying to

It is incredible to understand how the way someone was nurtured as a child could have such an effect on there adulthood. I personally believe that the events that occurred in my early childhood were stepping stones to defined me as the person I am today.
dad. We would wake up very early in the morning, even before the sun was up. As the birds were just beginning their morning songs, I rolled over in bed, still half asleep. As the thoughts of heading out on the lake and catching fish entered my mind, I was quickly wide awake. I got up, and put on my favorite pair of jeans. These jeans have been through a lot, with holes in the knees and a long slit down the back of one leg. Next came my lucky Hinton football shirt that I wore every single time I went hunting or fishing.
The best memory I have of me doing something reckless would have to be when I was in the 5th grade. The 5th grade was an interesting year as it was the year I started to experiment with my lifestyle and try new things. This was a the time in my life I was really into WWE, also known as World Wrestling Entertainment. I lived to see the Friday Night Smackdown special fight every friday, and sometimes I pretend I was my favored high flyer werster at the time; Jeff Hardy. His character on WWE was one I adored. Women loved him, men wanted to be him, and he was a fearless man. Jeff would jump from heights no one else would imagine of jumping, and he was adored by many for that. And at the moment, little Antenhe Tena wanted to be him, Everything from
about my birthday when I was ten years old and he said “ go to your room and study “,
My mom woke me the following morning. She had decided to bring me breakfast in bed...
"Happy Birthday", my mom screamed out and scared me the morning of June 9. But it was surprising and nice of her since she wished me before anyone else. It was my eighteen birthday and it was my day. While looking out the big windows in my room, I thought to myself, I will do what satisfies me today, but wasn't quite sure what? I didn’t receive any calls from my friends, or other relatives. Nobody was home either besides my mom with whom I can’t make plans because she got her own work to do. It depressed me because it seemed like this was going to be one boring eighteen birthday.
Two-thirds of children who participate in extracurricular activities are expected to attain at least a bachelor’s degree, whereas only half of children that do not participate do (National Center for Education Statistics, 1995). Childhood is a very important time in our lives, a time when we develop many vital skills that follow us into adulthood. Some people laugh or scoff at us parents that keep our children to busy schedules. Those same people would also argue that our children should be allowed to have a childhood, to not be so tightly scheduled in their daily lives. Before jumping on that bandwagon, I would suggest doing a little research. Participating in after-school activities has shown to benefit children in many ways. Children should
Soon, we all sat around the dinner table enjoying my grandma’s culinary specialties. There was one dish that had stuck in my mind though, possibly because it was the last dish served that night.
It was my mother’s birthday, I forgot which birthday it was. Two weeks before that day, I was thinking about what should I do for her birthday. I thought about getting her a present and a card, but it seemed to me too dull. I wonder what can I do to let her remember that birthday for the rest of her life, although I cannot remember which birthday it was. I thought of one thing that I always wanted to change about birthday — the cake. I was young and I believed that the cake was really important for birthdays. Previously, the cakes were standard, they taste and look average, they were either chocolate or vanilla flavored with standard bakery decorations on the them, on top, they were always slapped on a white chocolate “Happy Birthday” sign. There I go, I can bake a cake for her from scratch, a unique one which she will never forget about.
It was December 4, 2014 and it was snowing outside. I was sitting at the kitchen table doing homework. All my family was downstairs, so I was all alone. My English teacher told us to write a paper about how I am different from my classmates. I was thinking about what in my life makes me different and slowly my whole life was playing like a movie in my head. The first memory that popped into my head was my fourth birthday party. It was supposed to be the best birthday ever. My dad was going to come. It was February 24, 2002 at my birthday party. There were so many people there, but I was so focused on my dad coming, no one else seemed to matter. My cake was pink and yellow with a bicycle on it. I had a red and blue inflatable that kids were
Then my dad rang my sister and organised for us to be picked up at the
