_{Assalamu Alaikum,

Hello everyone,

I am @selina1}
_{From #Bangladesh}

I'm starting by wishing all my Steemit friends good health. Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah, I am very well. Today I will share with you about my childhood memories through a great engagement challenge. So let's get started.

Which childhood incident or story would you like to share?

First of all, before telling my story, I would like to share with you the scene of my village. When I was young and grew up in the village, the roads in our village were dirt and there were no buildings or brick houses, there were only houses made of tin or thatched roofs. Anyway, people mostly walked from one place to another then, but some used to travel by personal pedal-powered bicycles and pedal-powered vans.

Now coming to my story, those who spent their childhood days in the village will understand my feelings. When I was young, I didn't want to go to school much and played a lot with my playmates. As a result, I used to get scolded by my parents at home and I used to go to school because of their fear. My mother always told me to play sports along with my studies, but I thought I would study along with sports. However, the moments of spending naughty and sweet time in my childhood will never be forgotten.

I still remember one day I was skipping school and playing sports and everyone was preparing to eat mango bharta. At that time, it was not the mango season in our area, but some of our neighbors' trees had only small mangoes. We stole a few mangoes from that tree and made them into bharta. My mother found out about this, which made me call my cousin. That day I was very scared, after which I left home and went to my great aunt's house alone.

How old were you and what exactly happened at that moment?

When this incident happened to me, I was in class four and I was quite young at that time. However, when I went to my elder aunt's house out of fear of my mother's discipline, I was walking on a dirt road. After walking a long way and after a long time, I realized that my walking path was not ending. At one point, I got tired and forgot the way to my elder aunt's house.

I felt very lonely and was very scared, so scared that I was standing on the road and crying. Luckily, my elder aunt's husband's younger brother was going home from the raw market on that road after buying raw vegetables. He was very surprised to see me that I had come alone and was crying. Then when he asked me everything, I told him everything. Then he took me to my elder aunt's house.

It happened around 2:00 pm. It is worth mentioning that the distance from our house to my elder aunt's house is 40 minutes by foot. Then, my aunt was very happy to see me but also surprised and after hearing everything, my aunt fed me in the afternoon and took me back to our house in the afternoon. After convincing my mother, she handed me over to her and made me promise not to do such a wrong thing again.

What emotions did you feel during and after the incident?

My mother always taught me the right way to others, but still I did something like this because of my friends. Later, I went to my elder aunt's house because I was afraid of my mother. When I was walking on the road to my elder aunt's house, I was feeling an emotional reaction that what I had done was very wrong and now I am feeling pain and fear leaving my mother and going to another place alone.

In other words, everything I have been doing since this morning was wrong for me and I should have taken my time to make decisions. Because my mother loves me a lot, maybe she would scold me a little, but then my mother would love me again as before. Now I should not have made the decision to go to my elder aunt's house alone. I was so scared that I forgot the road now. I cried a lot thinking about all these emotions.

What did you learn or understand from this experience?

To be honest, it was a completely different experience for me. Because after coming home, when my mother heard everything I said, she did not get angry with me a bit, but she made me understand that I had not done a big wrong, but what I had done was wrong so that I would not do it again in the future. After that, my mother loved me a lot. I can understand many lessons from those moments of that day.

If the parents discipline us after doing something wrong, it is very good for us because they will never want anything bad to happen to us. Besides, we should never leave the house angry at such a young age. That day, various kinds of bad things could have happened to me. We know how to discipline the one we love. No matter how much my mother disciplines me, her love is above discipline. I understand this from my mother's behavior in the afternoon. Since then, I have never left home alone and gone to someone else's house in anger.

How has this education affected your life so far?

Of course, this education has affected my life in many ways. Until now, no matter what happened to me at home, I have never decided to leave home alone without informing anyone. I have done a lot of mischief with my friends, but I have not done anything wrong due to the temptation of my friends that would make me or my family feel ashamed.

The family at home is a blessing for us because they always want our well-being and try to make our life beautiful. In the family, the love of the elders is hidden in the discipline of the elders, which we often do not understand. I have now becomeer of the family and like my mother, I show the wrong path, discipline and love the younger ones.
