I asked one of my friends what was his earliest memories as a kid, and he said that his earliest memory was opening christmas presents and getting a "real" train. I think this would be a memory that brings comfort and happinnes and that is why he is able to recall it. I asked another friend and she remembers that when she was four years old she used to take ballet lessons, and her brother would play music and have her dance for many hours, even though she wanted to stop.

My first memory, however, is not very happy. I was at my aunt's house and I asked her to make fried plantains for me because I was hungry. By this time I was 2 years old. I ate my plantains and then went back to the kitchen because I was still hungry and pulled the pan in which my aunt had fried the food. The pan had hot oil still in it, and it fell all over my tummy. They had to take me to the doctor. I don't remember all of this happening, but I do remember when I was at the doctor's and he had to rip off my shirt in order to clean the wound, I remember being taken home after that. I think that this event may have caused some sort of stress and that is why I can recall it.
