I grew up in a small town with my family. When I was a child,I often played outside with my friends after school. We were riding our bikes in the weekend evenings while the sun was setting. I always enjoyed visiting my grandparents during summer holidays. While my grandmother was cooking, I was playing with my cousins. We drew pictures and colored them. While my grandfather was working in the garden, we helped by watering the plants. On winter we walked with my teacher and friends early morning.I loved drawing and coloring and I sometimes participated in school art competitions.I often visited to the library and the bookstore near my house. While we were swinging on the swing, we laughed and talked about our dreams. My mother told me stories before I slept every night. On rainy days, we played football with my friends in the rain.I remember celebrating my ten year birthday with a big cake and colorful balloons. All my teachers, friends and cousins came to my birthday. I was so excited. I got my birthday presents. Looking back, my childhood was filled with simple joys and wonderful memories.
