A childhood memory that impacted my life when mom used to take me and my siblings to the cherry blossom festival. Every Spring, around April or May, a festival would be held to admire the pretty and pink blooming flowers around Central Park. Whether it rained or the heat was too much, I still wouldn't pass up the chance to put a pink flower in my hair.

One Childhood experience that impacted my life was accidentally pouring shampoo in my eyes while showering. This happened because I wasn't paying attention while showering, and accidentally let it pour down into my eyes. This made me panic for a long time before I got to wash it out. This event made me scared of shampoo for a few years. Afterwards, I grew to overcome it and get used to it. This small thing made me panic less than I used to and made me be able to stay calm at certain points or events throughout my life.

One childhood memory that affected me was during last summer. My mother and I would got to prospect park to roller skate. Since COVID-19 I haven’t went out much, only a few times to be honest. My mother thought it would be a good idea for me to get fresh air. I haven't skated in about 2 years during that time, I worked hard and learned to skate over again. The more we went out the more I got comfortable to be outside.

On the first day of school I was nervous but also exited not knowing if I would adjust or have the same friendship I had in 6th grade. This is because I haven't communicated with them for two years. This made me a little nervous. Also not being in school for so long made me curios to see how different it is and see the pros and cons of being in person. In conclusion, this is why the first day of school changed my experiences.

A childhood memory that I remember is the first time I lost my tooth in class. I was in Kindergarten and I was 5 years old. While my teacher was finding out the activity that we were going to do next, I was playing with my tooth until it fell out. I knew this was going to happen because my older cousin was losing his baby teeth. My teacher noticed and surprised me by giving me a tooth shaped container and praising me for losing my first tooth. I am very fond of this memory because of how proud I remember being.

A childhood memory that impacted my life is when I was seven years old my dad bought me my first bike I didn't know how to ride and my parents had to work so my neighbor taught me. She was a little older than me and I trusted her a lot so I was fine with her teaching me. I fell a lot and got many bruises but I eventually learned and through this experience I learned to never give up and how to ride a bike.

A childhood memory is that every Saturday I would wake up early to watch my mom cook breakfast for us. So that gave me the motivation to start cooking myself and the inspiration to be able to cook a little at a time. Now every Saturday when my mom is not home I take her place and cook for my siblings and dad. Seeing my family's faces when I cook for them makes my heart melt. So I keep cooking for them.

One memory I remember from when I was younger is my sister teaching me how to play badminton. This impacted me positively because I learned how to play a new sport. It helped me find a hobby and helped me later on become better at the sport. After learning badminton it helped me in becoming more fast and aware of my surroundings. I was able to find something that I was good in.

One Childhood memory that impacted my life was when I fell and busted my knee at a park. So, One day, I was at the park with my friends, and we were playing near the sprinkler. We were playing tag and the person that was it had to count on top of it. So, when I was it, I started counting and when I was done, I started running toward the person I saw. Then, I slipped due to the water on the ground, so I fell and busted my knee on the platform. It hurt so bad to the point where I couldn't even walk. The lesson that this taught me was to always look where you are running.

Not to long ago, my dad picked me up from school. At first I was scared because I thought my dad was just going to embarrass me, but then I realized that my dad is always going to embarrass me no matter what so I should get used to it. My dad didn't notice me at first. Since he is color blind he doesn't know I have pink in my hair. When I went up to him he started to talk loudly just to get under my skin. I facetimed my mom to ask her why she didn't warn me about this. Then I heard my dad say "Where are your friends". I immediately started running. I already knew what he was trying to do. When we got to the bus stop he told me we were going out to eat for lunch. I think my mom had told him I've been getting panic attacks at schools. I didn't know why. It would just happen at the most random times. My hands started shaking and I felt like my Throat was closing up. I know that they were worried about me. I was reminded that even when I'm having a hard time in school I can always relay on my family and their always there for me no matter how much older I am getting.

This one particular childhood experience stands out in my mind. For the first time, I visited Camel Beach in Pennsylvania—in both PA and Camel Beach. My family and I were having a great time. The waterpark featured expansive and appealing scenery, which kept a constant smile on my face for the duration of my visit. The lovely weather complemented the park's surroundings, making everything even more attractive. Furthermore, at each drop, the rides made me shout with delight. In general, I had a great day in Camel Beach with my friends and family. One thing I've taken away from this experience is the importance of spending time with your family. This is because now I cannot see some of my relatives with some of the Covid variants making their steady appearance. Now, I know how essential it is to have love and appreciate your family as long as you can.

A childhood memory that impacted my life was going to my home country only a few times. The total amount of times I have went to my country is about 2. This impacted my life by making me grateful of seeing my family the few times I could. This also impacted me by cherishing my family, and my hometown too. Another way it impacted me was giving me a sense of gratefulness of living in a home that gave warm water at all times, and comfortable living spaces compared to living situations in my home country.

A childhood experience that impacted my life was when I went to visit my home country and got lost. I was about 6 at the time, my arabic was not very good so I couldn't communicate with anyone. This impacted me in having to help myself. Crying wasn't going to do anything so I looked for my mom myself. My mom had not even noticed I was gone, good thing I looked for her myself. That is how I learned leadership.

A childhood memory that impacted my life was when I was upstate at my uncle's house spending a week there. It was so much fun we had a barbacue for the 5 of us. We went in the pool, we swam 10 feet deep, touching the bottom and coming back up. We also played a JoJo game that we had made up where the diver down tackled you underwater and kept you there for like 10 seconds. It was a lot of fun. It impacted me because now I can't get to see my cousin's anymore due to private reasons (not death).

Around 5 years ago my parents left to Bangladesh, their home country, and so I stayed with my grandparents. We had gone to the beach and I walked farther into the lake when I hear my aunt, 13 at the time, yell from behind me, "There's a deep hole so be careful going deep into the water!" Having forgotten her words a few minutes after I went even further and fell into the deeper waters. I started drowning. My sister saw me from afar and told my aunt to help her get me out. From this childhood experience I learned to always have an adult with me when near a pool or any bodies of water bigger and deep than my bathtub.

One childhood experience that impacted my life was when I broke the joint in my left arm. It was like any other day in my regular childhood. I was in the second grade at the time and I was playing at the playground near my elementary school. I remember how I fell off the monkey bars because my hands slipped and how I landed on my left elbow which caused me to fracture my joint. I remember being in pain and wearing a cast for the next few months. This experience taught me to be more careful when I was playing in the future and it taught me to always put my safety first over everything.

Core memory that impacted my life took place in the summer of 2020. My family was going through some family complications. It was the hardest time of my life. Stress would overfill me, depression would eat me from the inside. All of it lasted until I heard a song, "Fake Love" by seven beautiful men, BTS. My heart skipped a beat and excitement rushed over me. At that moment I knew they were my fate. Enthusiastically, I researched about them. It had kept my mind off of overthinking the family situation. Their fantastic music has seemed to save me. (I might have exaggerated it but yk...)

A childhood memory that impacted me is when my dad taught me how to ride a bike. I remember it like it was yesterday. I went to Marine Park with my father on a cold Sunday morning, along with my older brother. He taught both of us how to ride a bike. My brother was able to grasp onto the concept easily. Me on the other hand, it took me over 4-5 weeks to really be able to ride a bike without my dad. But I eventually learned. This impacted me in a positive way because it introduced me to a new form of transportation. It also showed me a way to relax myself/clear my head. It also made me feel kind of full of myself, considering that only my father, brother, and I, know how to ride a bike.
