My Reflective Childhood





My childhood wasn't that great after all. I lied a LOT to my friends and family members, stole some stuff, and did some other pretty bad stuff too. But you know what? Every time  I do bad things such as "5 finger discount", my parents don't spank me or any other "Violence". Instead they do some "workout" way. They make me do some push ups, pull ups, handstand, planking, etc. Then, I run around our neighborhoods 2 times. After all, it really teaches me the lesson. I often think my dad's too harsh and I feel angry but after I think about it, it makes sense. You deserve the same of what they have got from you.

I will tell you one of my unforgettable experiences that had happened when I was about 7 years old. I was walking around my apartment playground when I saw a full deck of "Yu gi oh" cards. I was so desperate to get it so I slowly approached to the target, grabbed a bunch, then came back to my bedroom. Until dinner time, I was happy because I got new cards in my hand without even trying. But that happiness didn't last that long. A loud-mouthed woman marched into our house then blurted out all these random sayings to us. As a result, I was done the same thing by my parents. When I was sleeping, my parents hid my favourite toys and pretended they didn't know. When I finally found out, I cried hell a lot.

This video is similar situation to mine. This little boy has been done the same thing to him. I think this video gives a moral of this: What you give, always comes back- not better, but worse.

  1. Hi Josh. I just saw you at the computer lab. Anyways, I like how you referred to your childhood experience to explain the film "Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring." You portray good thoughts and feelings about your childhood as well. Good job! :)

  2. I agree with WW. You have some interesting vocabulary in here with 5-finger discount and "planking." Planking as punishment? I thought kids loved planking. How about some GLPS planking? I DARE you to post a picture of you and Eddie planking at GLPS.

    Very good honest story you tell. It is actually kind of funny what your parents did.
