Error Correction in Memoir Excerpt
The summer I turned twelve was a pivotal moment in my life. I vividly remember the warm sun casting long shadows as I explored the woods near my house. That day, I encountered a stray dog, which became my loyal companion for years. I always felt a sense of freedom and adventure when I was out there, away from the city noise. Little did I know, that summer would shape my understanding of loyalty, trust, and courage, lessons I carry with me to this day. The memories of that day are etched deeply into my heart, reminding me of the innocence and discovery of childhood.
