 A lot of people say that childhood is the best period of life. I can say the same thing about my childhood. I remember that I enjoyed playing with my friends, running, singing and imagining things. I spent my childhood in a rural area. We had a house and a small farm. I lived with my family, my parents, my siblings and my grandparents. I loved my mom most of all as she was always there and took care of me. When I think of my childhood, I remember that I was free to go everywhere. I used to spend hours outside. I didn't like school much. I wanted to be an astronaut and I didn't realize that I had to study hard to become an astronaut. I think that it is absolutely essential for every child to have happy childhood. As far as I'm concerned, I believe that childhood shapes people into who they will become.
