Memories

I have good memories of the celebrations with my family. We used to get together every Sunday morning for a special lunch. We really enjoyed it. It was great!

I also remember my days as a high school student. I used to play tennis in the school team. Because we used to play against other teams on weekends, we practiced twice a week in the afternoon. We usually won. We all had fun together. I love the old days!
