My Childhood

Wow! I have to recall the memory of being a kid so long ago! Those were the times when we used to play outdoors until dinner time, climb trees, play with barbies and toy cars with neighborhood friends. Most of the time, I remember going to a lot of movies as a kid, where dad took us to family out to dinner then a movie. I can remember seeing movies in the small town of Globe, AZ, Safford, Az, then Phoenix and Scottsdale. Movies that included some of my favorites like E.T, Star Wars, Close Encounters, etc. Being raised on a reservation was simple in my eyes yet I longed for things off the reservation. I remember one particular drawing I did when I was in the 3rd grade, which was of the BIG APPLE in New York City. I was fascinated with New York for some reason and often drew large cities in all of my drawings. I loved drawing and painting the most as a kid, also having the pleasure of Clay, The Little People, Crayola coloring books and crayons, Barbies and her town house...I even had a collection of the Archie gang, which included Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead and Archie's jalopy. I wish I could have saved them. Collecting comic books was also a hobby of mine as a kid. I had a nice childhood, despite that occasionally I was bullied by older children, but somehow I managed to stay a happy kid. :)
