Living Roots Awaken in my Head.
A vivid memory from the past was when I went away to the countryside. I went to my holiday house in Cavan for about four days. My family and I arrived at our holiday house on a sunny day.During the drive we stopped at a shop and I bought a pencil case for my colours. When I opened it at my house a piece of the packaging fell into my mouth when I was stretching. I started to choke for about a minute and tried to swallow it. Then, my mom and dad arrived. Suddenly, I coughed up the tag and spit it onto the ground. It was covered in blood. After, I had a glass of water.

My earliest memory was when I was about two years old. It was my godfather Kieren and Fiona's wedding in Sligo. I was not allowed to go to the wedding. I stayed with my kind my kind nana and grandad. I was pretty sad that I wasn't going with my parents and older brother James. When my mom and dad had left my nana went into a small box room and came out in a few minutes with a big blue box filled with large blocks. I remember that I made a very tall tower and my nana started complimenting me saying how talented I was at building blocks.
