Essay On My Childhood Memory

Everyone should have a childhood memory. Whether it is going to get ice cream with your dad on Fridays’, or going on a yearly trip camping. Whatever it is, it should be memorable in some way. My childhood consisted of fresh air, eating fresh-off-the-tree mangoes, catching lizards with my brother, and diving in warm turquoise shark infested waters. I enjoyed every waking moment of being in my grandma’s presence because I do not get to see her that often, but this time was different. We we’re there to stay.

My grandma got medicine from the doctors to stop the itching, it lasted for about an hour. When the bug bites go away, you feel like you’re free, and then you get ten more.
