Deep dives
Childhood Activity: Building a Tree House
One of my favorite childhood activities was building a tree house. Instead of a traditional closed box structure, my friend and I built a tree house with multiple platforms on different branches of the tree. We used wooden steps that we nailed into the tree trunk to climb to the different platforms. Constructing the tree house was more enjoyable than actually playing in it. It was my first experience using a hammer and nails, and it provided a great place to play, use our imagination, and create games.
Childhood Activity: Collecting Bugs
During a brief period in my life, I had a fascination with collecting bugs. I particularly enjoyed collecting caterpillars and creating a suitable environment for them in a container with leaves and sticks. I fed them fruits like cantaloupe and observed their interactions with each other. I would often combine different bugs to see how they would get along. Looking back, it's a bit gross to think about, but at the time, it was an interesting and engaging activity that allowed me to learn more about insects and their behavior.
Childhood Activity: Making Paper Airplanes
Another favorite childhood activity of mine was making paper airplanes. I loved experimenting with different folding techniques to create the best airplane design. My neighbor and I found a particularly impressive design that we would recreate and try to improve upon. It was a fun way to exercise our imagination and challenge our skills in creating designs that could fly as high and as far as possible.
