my childhood in two distinct parts. In elementary school, my friends and I spent our free time after school
playing outside. We would go to different street vendors to eat junk food and buy cheap toys. Sometimes,
we would watch cartoons together. But there were few channels back then; we didn’t spend too much

thought about the changes. Now, I realize that I miss those old days hanging out with my friends, eating
junk food and sharing toys.
