Narrative about Childhood experience
Childhood experiences are perhaps some of the most gripping moments one will have in their lives. As a child, one is ever curious – checking out any opportunity for new experiencing without really thinking of the repercussions that may accompany certain actions. I remember one experience I had when I was eight years old. My parents and I had proceeded on a holiday to a foreign country. By all indication, we were supposed to have the best moments of our lives. My mother’s birthday was approaching and I had to find an opportunity to sneak out and buy her a present. My decision of leaving on my own volition was my undoing. I was about to have one of the most memorable encounters in my young age.
I went out for a while looking for a shop or a chain store where I could buy cake and blooms for my mother. I never realized that I had drifted off from the hotel where we had been staying. I only thought I had gone a short distance when I tried to go back to the hotel. I had lost my way and I had no way of knowing how to get back. The experience was devastating as it was a foreign country and there I was with no clue on how to get back to my hotel. At last, I found someone who directed me back to the hotel. Livid of the experiences, my parents were very apprehensive. They constantly told me of the dangers I was exposed to while out there – kids losing their parents forever. This is one experience that has been implanted in my mind since I was eight!
