Summry of the my childhood

Dr. Abdul Kalam, in his biography “Wings of Fire”, had written about his childhood. He was born into a middle-class family, whose parents taught him kindness, honesty and to be generous, by practicing this path themselves.   He may be a scientist, and the first person, by becoming the President, but he cherished and respected the values that his parents taught him. Maybe his firmness and his conviction in the good qualities which he carried throughout his life made him stand upright. His simplicity came from his father who preferred to live a simple life, giving his children the necessities and ignoring the luxury.   Dr. Kalam started to earn when he was very young and he was proud of it too. It was by helping his cousin to sell the newspaper.   His friends were all from orthodox Hindu family and they all enjoyed each other’s company and were not threatened by any religious groups, unlike today. They led a peaceful childhood and enjoyed themselves.   As they grew, each one of them chose their own profession. The three friends in whose company Dr. Abdul Kalam was right from his childhood days were Ramanadha Sastry, Aravindan and Sivaprakasan.   Once when a teacher tried to bring about the difference between Dr. Kalam and his friend, Sastry’s father very rightfully asked the teacher to apologize or leave the school. The teacher apologized and Lakshmana Sastry’s conviction reformed the teacher.
