Growing up

2. Who was the most important person to you during most of your childhood? Your Mom? Your Dad? Another relative? A friend? An imaginary person? Show some examples in which you see how much influence this person (or imaginary person) had on you while you were growing up.
 I remember both of my parents being there for me but the one person who stuck out the most had to be my mother. I always thought of her as a strong person, and also a very loving parent. She would always be there for me when I was sick, which was often. I remember one time when I was sick on my birthday and she had to take me to the doctor. The office felt so bad for me they gave me a little goody bag to take home with me. After that my mom took me out to lunch where they sang happy birthday to me.

5. What did you and your family do for entertainment when you were little? Did you play board games together? Go to movies? Go into extreme detail of a family fun night of some kind.
 I remember several times walking out to the living room and seeing my mother and brother playing video games. I always wanted to play but got the same you’re to young, so I have had to live a life of growing up watching my brother play video games. My mom wanted to let me play but the boy wouldn’t let the systems out of his sight. It’s only now that my brother is letting me do a lot more things with his games.

7. What action makes you the most nostalgic for your childhood? Is it seeing old pictures or going through old clothes? Something else entirely? Write a story of you going through those nostalgic actions and having various memories of your childhood.
I always remember the most things when I go through my box, its gust this box that sits in my room not showing any signs of getting cleaned soon. But in the box I have several photos from when I was a little girl. I love the one of me riding a hours at a friend’s party. Or even my graduation photo from elementary school. I looked so cute and really Hispanic (which I am so I don’t mind) but now that I have grown up I lost a lot of my dark skin and hair and now look scary like my mom.

11. You have been given the opportunity to go backwards. You can pick an age and start over again from that age. Do you pick one or not? What age would you go to? Describe your first week with your "old person" memories in your younger body.
 I would go bake to age 13. I would tell myself “yeah facebook is cool now but it won’t be later on, you’re not going to get popular because you have so many dragons in a stupid game. So yeah enjoy it but spend more time with your mom at night like you use to, sitting on her bed watching yet another show that you don’t care about. Believe it or not you won’t always have a mom so spend what time you can with her now…oh and stay away from Erica (I have changed the name of the person, so if your name is Erica I have nothing against you).
