Comments(1) Here is a funny video about being a kid
When I reflect back on being a kid it is very funny to see everything I was then and now everything that I have become. I can still see the little boy I used to be just care free worried about nothing but play. One of my favorite summer pastimes was making sandcastle in a little sand pile in the yard. I enjoyed it very much… then. You couldn’t put me in a sandbox now for anything (well maybe if I had my phone). Things have become so different it doesn’t even seem like the same person. Being a kid I didn’t really appreciate the fact that i’d have to grow up it was just a life was life attidude back then. Now, however, i can look back and appreciate everything that I was back then .
After reading the stories “Penny In The Dust” and “The Rink” I was brought back to my childhood and remembered various people from my past who I admired and help me a lot in life. Some of these people include grandma and grandpa (both past on), my mom, dad and siblings. I realize now looking back what an awesome family life I was blessed with as a child! Reading the story “How to do Battle with Parents” left me discouraged and wondering why anyone would treat there parents like that! Finally, the two poems we read “The Piano” and “Warren Pryor” made me think of all the times I was a spoiled brat as a kid. I could really relate to “Warren Pryor” because like his parents, mine were farmers living on a poor farmers income during some of the worst years of their lives. However, in spite of all that they gave everything they had to there kids to lift them higher in life. I realized more after reader these poems of what my parents did for us kids and I was discouraged from being “ungrateful brats” like the kids in the stories. This is a linked to a related article: Being A Kid. This is a link to a comment.
This blog entree was very good, you discussed all the things in the unit and summed up everything.I can also relate when you say “I realize now looking back what an awesome family life I was blessed with” i think that is a very good point to learn from this unit…
