More About memories

Memories start when we are born. We keep them as we grow. Some memories are big, like a birthday. Others are small, like a nice day. We can think of them when we want.

Memories help us in our day. They help us know what to do. When we see a friend, we remember fun times. This makes us smile and feel good.

Every day, we can make new memories. We can try new things and meet new friends. Each memory is a part of us. They help us be who we are.
