LA Reflective Writing

I can still remember when I was about seven years old, I went to China, Shanghai, during the december holidays. When I was in the supermarket in China, I noticed that there are a lot of people there shopping for groceries. My mother told me to stick close to her to prevent getting lost in the crowd. We shopped for things that were not sold in Singapore. After walking for a while, my mother said she had a stomachache hence we went to find for the toilet. Because I did not need to go to the toilet, my mother told me to wait outside with my father. I waited with my father for a while and soon started to get bored. When my father was busy looking at the fruits, I walked away to the candy section without informing him. I was fascinated by the many variety of candies it sold there. I spend my time there admiring these candies.
After a while, I wanted to go back but I realised that I was lost. I did not know the directions back to the toilet. I started to panic and started to run around, trying to find my parents. Fortunately, one middle aged man saw me and asked what had happened. I told him that I was lost and did not know the way to the toilet. He told me not to be afraid and brought me there. The moment I saw my parents, I immediately ran towards them and hugged them. I explained what had happened to them and they thanked the man. From this experience, I learnt that whenever I am in a place which I am unfamiliar with, I should stick close to my parents and not run away without informing them to avoid getting lost again.
