Hi! Everybody? I am Tom I am 15 years old .This morning I
took a look at our photo album . It reminded me of my childhood
and the good time I had. Are you curious to know about me when I
was a little child ? Well, here you are some of my past memories.
When I was young let’s say around 7 years old. I used to go to
my grand parents’ home, they used to live in a big farmhouse in the
country side, they used to raise many domestic animals, there I used
to ride a horse and climb trees. My grandmother used to tell me nice
stories before I go to bed , after school I used to play marbles with
my friends , but I didn’t use to play board games.
I really miss those days when everything was simple and
enjoyable. I wish they go back.
