Childhood

Every person has a good memory of their childhood that will follow them into their adult lives. In 12th grade we have a big project to do. We have 3 people in our group. We need to interview OIHS students or teachers from different countries. Our group’s topic is childhood memories. I will be writing about one teacher and two students about their childhoods.

Ms. Raquel Franker was born on January 12, 1970, in Los Angeles. When she was 12 years old she liked to do gymnastics and hang out with her friends. When she went to college in Santa Cruz she had to leave her homeland. She has good memories of her childhood because she had a lot friends and life was easier. Ms. Raquel also has bad memories of her childhood. She remembers her brother beating her up when they fought. Overall she was happy about her childhood because she had a family who loved her. If she had the chance to go back to her childhood, she would not change anything because she would not be the same person.

Suthida is a Thai student at OIHS. She was born on June 19, 1990, in the country of Thailand, the country that lies on the north part close to Lao. That city she was born in was called Nongkia. She came to U.S on June 19, 2007. Now Suthida is an OIHS student. She works on the OIHS basketball team and has more friends in her life. When Kamala interviewed her about her childhood she said “When I was young, I liked to read the cartoon books.” She left her homeland because her dad wanted her to live with him in the United States. When she left her homeland she felt upset because she left her older brother behind. She misses him very much. However, the United States changed her life because in Thailand she worked very hard. But in the U.S everything is easy and she can live with her dad. She thinks both countries are good because in the U.S she can make a lot of money, but Thailand is her home so she will go back one day.

Nestor Roman was born on February 21 1991, in Impala Chiquimula. When Beatrice interviewed him about his childhood he said, “When I was young, I liked to play soccer and hang out with my friends.” He left his homeland because he wanted to have a better life. He does not feel anything special about the question Beatrice asked. He is very happy about his family because they all love him.

Everyone’s childhood is different. You can have good memories or bad memories. If you want to have good memories of your childhood, you need to do things that will become good memories.
