A Special Childhood Memory

     I have a special childhood memory. It had happened at the beginning of my first grade in elementary school. For the first time in my life, I went to school led by the hand of my mom.

New backpack, new books, new classmates and new teachers are there. Everything all I saw

and experienced was new and fresh itself.

   First graders are taught dancing and playing games on the playground by their teachers or

as a whole class. Among all the teachers, 4^th class’ teacher was very pretty. I watched her

face on and on while she was teaching us.

 

   One day in spring, she was teaching all the first graders on the platform in the playground.

Then she asked a question to all pupils,  how a goat make sounds.  Many pupils made a

sound of goat. I made a big sound in the front row of the class. The woman teacher saw me

at the big sound, pointed me out to come over to the platform. So I went up on the platform.

The pretty teacher held me up by her hands and so that my mouth close to the mike.

At the moment, I felt very happy and excited.  It’s because I liked the teacher.

She holds me up now. I made sounds of a goat just right. All the first graders and teachers

laughed and enjoyed the sounds.

 

  Among the parents saw that scene said to my mom the episode at that time. And I was told

that my mom’s friends were laughed and happy with the sound. Whenever I come to remember

my childhood, I smile at those happy days.
