Response to Childhood

One quote that I found was appealing was Vincent Liu's opinion on what role childhood plays in our lives:
“Childhood is a period of time that I think is the most important moment of a person's entire life. The life of being a kid is such a wonderful and beautiful thing to have… Childhood is the time where we experience many things for the first time… Without a beginning, how can there be a middle or an end? Everything has a beginning and have to start somewhere. For us, our Childhood is where it all begin.”
My childhood revolved mainly around appreciating my family. Anytime we would plan to visit a cousin's house, i knew it would be a good day. Whether it was the trips to Reno in the snow, a ride to Six Flags, or just playing a game of basketball in the backyard. Being around my family during my childhood was one of the best memories of my life so far and i have a feeling these memories will last.

I knew my childhood came to an end when every single one of my cousins, uncles, and aunties left California for New York not too long ago. It hit me hard knowing that the people I seen almost everyday and enjoyed spending time with were now moving on. Playing a game of basketball in the backyard had no meaning to it anymore.
