Honestly time waits for nobody,few hours ago before I stated writing this post,I started having a kind of flash back to the old days of my life,the friends that I made when I was still very young,the people that made impact in my life,some funny things I did when I was still a child and so many more all started rushing through my mind.

I could remember this my very child hood friend named peter,we became friends because we attended the same primary and secondary school.his father was actually the owner of the primary school that I attended.so our friendship started right in his father's school.if I could remember vividly we usually sit next to each other and being very young chap we tend to play alot and gradually became very good friends.

He actually influenced me in several ways not negatively though but positively.him being from a stable financial back ground had access to somethings I didn't really have access to.i could remember how we normally sneak out to play games such as playstation, Sega and so on.he thought me how to play most of the video games i know how to play up till this moment, our friendship extended till we graduated from secondary school .

In my secondary school virtually everybody calls us twins because we are always together and due to the kind of easy going and shy guy that he is like myself, gave teachers and students the impression that we are twins.our friendship was more like a family friends because when we started visiting each other regularly our parents got to know that we are very good friends and I if am nowhere to be found my parent definitely knows that I at his place and the same was applicable to him too and from there both my parent and his parent became very good friends too,so I can actually say we are family friends.our friendship actually ended after my secondary education and we had to pursue other things in life.

Another thing that flashed back to my mind was when I was about writing my first exam into the university.in Nigeria there is this exam we normally write called JAMB which means joint admission and matriculation  board.i was very young when I passed out of secondary school I think I was seventeen years by then.as at then, I was very skinny and not really too tall.so when I was about going to write my JAMB exam I could remember how scary my mum was because she was thinking I might not be able to do the necessary things like printing out my form and locating my venue and so she decided to come with me.when we finally got to the venues and it was time for us to start the exam,the examiner was calling us in,when it got to my turn the examiner saw my mum still holding my hands and even ready to go in with me and the examiner was like mama we know your son is still very young,you can leave him with us we will take care of him,it was at this moment my mum finally let go of my hands and I went to write my exam.

So now looking back to how small I was by then and how I have grown both physically and mentally was quite different from then.now I am not longer under anyone's control and I have evolve to be a man compare to the little boy I was by then.i so much miss my friend though when all of what we have had together started flashing back to my mind.i was like wauuu this is how time actually flies.old things gone but they will always remain part of our life.
