About This Quote

There are some experiences that are universal to all people. One example is the experience of childhood. Whether you were raised in West Omaha or Sweet Valley, you went through the experience of growing up and discovering your identity as a person. The way you dress, what you do for fun, and who you spend time with are all aspects of childhood that are universal to all people.
