I really enjoyed my summers of being at the YMCA. I first started going to the YMCA at age ten and my brother was 12.
My brother stop going at age 16 and when I turned 16 my mother wanted me out of the program to.
After I spent my childhood memories and experiences at the YMCA I wanted to be employed their.
When I got hired I did a lot thinking about what the YMCA used to be like when I was a child.
My childhood memories brought me back to when I was a child and what I have learned and experience their.
I enjoyed having fun and being active with the children and teaching them different things about what I have acknowledged throughout the program and what I have learned from the staffs also.
A home to me is a place where you have wonderful and enjoyable memories and experiences where you have spent the majority of your childhood life.
And that the place where you grew up from defines your childhood.
The places you have explored in your hometown that made you feel contented and happy and spending your whole childhood their.
My brother and me used to have fun in our back yard playing all sorts of kiddy games
such as hide n go seek; tagging and racing with each other on our bikes and scooters.
We would stay outside playing for hours until night time.
The grocery stores and restaurants in my hometown are so convenient. For instance, there used to be a corner store on the
vertical side where our house were, that used to have a logo sign colored with black and
white letters named ''Food Mart,'' the store was made up of a rectangular components with brown bricks.
The Food Mart store wasn't just a store it was also constructed to be a complex apartment building for people to live in. Today The Food Mart store is now abandoned and boarded.
There was a YMCA program close by in the area for kids; my mother wanted my
brother and me to get into the program so we can be around other children to have fun
with as well.
My brother and me enjoyed being in the program experiencing different things and
getting engaged in fun activities, going on field trips, playing at the park and watching
good movies; which the staffs are required to do with the kids.
The most interesting activity I enjoyed the most throughout the program was going on field trips.
Such as Six Flags; The House of Kicks; Hollywood Park and going to the movies.
Six Flags Great America was one of my favorite trips that excited me the most.
Getting on the towering roller coasters was enthusiastic to me.
The roller coasters that was fun getting on was the Giant drop, Raging bull, sky screamer and the Batman ride.
