When I was a kid, I was very adventurous. När jag var liten var jag väldigt äventyrlig. My friends and I used to skip school and go to the video arcade. Jag och mina vänner brukade hoppa över skolan och gå till videospelhallen. The sense of freedom I had when I got my drivers license was unmatched. Känslan av frihet jag hade när jag tog mitt körkort var oöverträffad. Riding the bus to school was the worst. Att åka buss till skolan var det värsta.

When I was in school, the teachers would hit us with rulers. När jag gick i skolan slog lärarna oss med linjaler. My parents were emphatic in their religious beliefs. Mina föräldrar var eftertryckliga i sin religiösa övertygelse. My family used to have an annual reunion. Min familj brukade ha en årlig återförening. We used to go fishing at the river most Sundays. Vi brukade fiska vid älven de flesta söndagar. For my birthday, all my extended family members would come over.

På min födelsedag skulle alla mina utökade familjemedlemmar komma över. I’m still recovering from my childhood. Jag återhämtar mig fortfarande från min barndom. When I was in college I loved going to rock concerts. När jag gick på college älskade jag att gå på rockkonserter. My taste in music has changed so much over the years. Min musiksmak har förändrats så mycket genom åren. I have traveled to 15 different countries. Jag har rest till 15 olika länder.

I still remember the first time I saw the ocean. Jag minns fortfarande första gången jag såg havet. There are some freedoms I miss about childhood. Det finns några friheter jag saknar i barndomen. Mostly I just love being an adult! För det mesta älskar jag att vara vuxen!
