A memorable event from my childhood was the time when it was my first day in high school. It was quite a peaceful morning and was around 7 a.m. Me, my father, and my grandpa had woken up to prepare for our morning activities. I had my first day in school, high school to be particular, and my father, well, he had had gotten a promotion. So he was ecstatic to go and work to earn a living, a better living for us. Whilst my grandpa was an early morning, an early bird you might say, he always used to wake up early. Anyways, we headed outside and my father dropped me off at school. My grandpa helped me take my bags and he dragged them with me to my high school classroom. I was a bit weak at the time so I was having difficulty holding my bag so he would help me a lot and I would appreciate it still to this day. The reason it was so memorable this first day in high school was because my grandpa and my father were both there, both present. And I just felt a lot of joy and support that both of my father figures were there right with me in a new chapter of my life. I was satisfied. And I remember that that first day was the most peaceful, serene, and calming day I ever had in high school. It was the day I felt loved and I didn’t need anyone else’s validation. So in particular, this day brings a great memory to me when I think about it. And my father and my grandpa are still alive and I still thank them great for what they did with me and how they helped me. and how they helped me shape what I have become now, a strong and independent man. Thank you very much.
