Personal essay on childhood memories

My best childhood and teenage memories date back to Riyadh since almost the entire list of my friends also grew up within the city. In my individual life, I have grown to treasure or value friendship so much. Indeed, I believe in the adage that “no man is an island,” meaning, no particular individual can ever stand alone or be independent of others. I can still recall the days when we used to encourage ourselves as friends, inspiring each one to offer the best in life and invest more efforts on studies. We believed in the help from each as teenagers of the same age group. As such, friendship has been not only part and parcel of my experiences within the city but also the key to my success. In a group of teenagers, we still adore and treasure the Riyadh city for being the best place we could exercise all these. It has been the backbone of our success in life. Personally, I believe that Riyadh City offered us the best and conducive environment for expressing ourselves and putting our ideas into practice. 

Furthermore, Riyadh has served as the best place and home to my family of nine. The city offers the best and almost everything that any other family could be in need of, such as the good recreational facilities, infrastructure, learning and health amenities, alongside the sufficient food supply. These, alongside other commodities, facilities, and services are some of the things that make Riyadh the best place to live.

Considering my career in the healthcare sector, Riyadh has offered the best environment and facilities to learn and practice my profession. Unlike most other health care professionals I have encountered all my life, in my case, I did not realize that I had the urge and role to practice as a healthcare provider until 2008 when my father was diagnosed with a chronic disease. Consequently, my interest in healthcare provision naturally grew to a higher level, particularly in the nursing department since he was diagnosed eight years ago due to diabetes. During that time, I realized how essential wellness is to human’s daily living. Since then, family ties and relationships have held us together despite the unwavering obstacles we have always faced. I still reside with my parents to date, and they (including the extended family members) have always supported me both physically and emotionally. Regardless of the several numbers of challenges, the family has always been by my side; they have guided, helped, and encouraged me to develop a sense of belonging and originality.

This practice is one of the best, respectful, and moral practices for which Riyadh offers a perfect environment, hence unique from other several cities where this act may not be condoned or encouraged.

Successfully, accomplished my 2.5 years Diploma studies. The experiences during my studies and career practice have been enriching, hence opening my eye to realize the fact the limitations, implications, and complications in life are unending.
