CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES

             By the time I was a kid I  was  often  invited  by  my  father   for  a  walk  around  the  complex  my  home. The first thing I see is the people around me, they are very friendly to me and my dad. I see  them  talking to my dad and I just said nothing, because I do not know anything at the time.
            When   I went   to  sit  in  bench  kindergarten  I  already  know  a  little  about  the  outside  world,

 I recognize the teachers who taught me, my bench and my classmates. In the kindergarten it  all,  I  have started to read and count. And when I went  to  sit  in  bench  primary  scope  of  the  outside  world  was already  much  increased. At that time I was able to socialize with the outside world, I befriended, taught to  do  good,  respect  for older people, saving, and most importantly, are taught not to lie. I'm not afraid anymore  always  go  to  school  alone,  because  at  that  time  I  was  often delivered by my mother. Any activity  outside  of school I read that the park following the understanding of religion is inherent in mind and my faith.
            I  was  sitting  far  SMP  in  bench  know  the  life  of  the  outside  world,  I often play with peers to crowded places like the Mall or other public places. In any school environment I've been able to organize with my friends. My life during high school are not much different with  my life during high school. But in high school I was more mature and understand the feelings of attraction with the opposite sex, or better known as courtship.
            Less  is  more  like  that's  a  story  about a small part of my life from infancy to sit in bench school, a lot of experience and learning that I got at  the  time, I'm happy with my life at that time. Even now it is very beautiful memory of my childhood days, at that time.
