Memories are one of the most crucial things we can cherish
throughout our lives. They build up our personality as all our
knowledge and previous experiences are stored there. Memories can be good or bad but in the end, they’re all priceless. I bet you all have an unforgettable memory, it can be those times you played truant, the first time learn how to ride a bike, or stole money from your parents to buy junk food, for me, I am no exception. I will never forget the day when I was 10, eloped with my friends to the field. Whenever I think about it I can’t help laughing stupidly. I still remember it was sunny noon, the sun shined bright rays on the ground, making the air extremely hot and sweltering. I and my neighborhood children followed one another to the field without asking parents for permission. We were singing the summer songs out loud while walking. We came to the field, and the wind blew bringing the smell of grass flowers and ripe rice. We, 6 children, divided into 2 teams and saw which team can catch more dragonflies. At that time, each of us was an inch tall, the rice in its ripeness was taller than my head, so nobody could see me when I was in the field. Because of busy running after a big dragonfly, I couldn’t notice that I ran to the river, which was too far from the field. Not until I fell because of slippery road did I realize I got lost, I was too scared and burst into tears immediately. I didn’t know what to do but stood there and cried. Then after 20 minutes of crying, finally, I saw one of my friends come to me. He was the boy whose name is Khoi, he lived next to my house. At that moment, I thought Khoi was a Sanit, I ran back and hugged him. Khoi took me back to the field and bandaged my knee was bleeding. Then we continue to play until late afternoon. I came home, and saw my mom waiting for me with a feather broom in her hand. Although I had to suffer the wrath of my mom, I had wonderful noon that I will never forget.
