#2 Earliest Memory (freewrite, 10 minutes)

Well my earliest memory I think is just a flash back of my sisters birthday party. I don’t remember how old she was turning, I just remember being there with all my brother, cousins and friends. I remember that I was looking at my sister’s birthday cake and I poked it with my finger. My aunt, who was taking care of me and my brother at that time, got really mad at me and sent me to a room. I remember I was really mad and I don’t recall getting out of the room, possible I felt a sleep. My guess is that I was around three years old when this happened. Another memoery was when we moved to a house closer to the city. I am from El Salvador and at first we used to live in a very rural area. When I was around four years old we moved to a house near the city. I remember when I entered the house that I could hear the eacho since it was empty. It also had some windows. I remember I said to myself, “hey this is like the hospital.” In the town/city where I lived the hospital was very big so in someparts it had some echo. Also the windows in the new house where the same kind as the one from the hospital. I guess at the time I came to the house I had some memory about going to the hospital.

One final memoery was when I went with one of my aunts to get a shot at the hospital. I remember that when I saw the doctor with the neddle I started crying and fighting back cause I did not want to get the shot. They eventually gave me the shot and I remember in the way to the house I was limping cause my leg was hurting really bad because of the shot.
