Best Days in My Life

When I was a three week old newborn, Social Services decided that my mother and father were no longer fit to raise my sister and I. My mother was an alcoholic who would soon be in prison, my father was not yet an American citizen, and my parents were in the midst of a divorce. Instead of allowing my sister and I to be split up and sent to separate foster homes, my grandparents brought us into their home for what was intended to be a temporary length of time. This temporary length of

During the summer vacation I mostly helped my mother clean the house. I spent the holiday with my aunts and uncles and it was a lot of fun. I love taking photos as well, when I was in the 6th grade I took a photography course at school and I took many beautiful pictures.

As usual the relatives were happy to see my family and I, and after seeing everybody and hanging around inside for a little bit. My grandmother stayed inside with my mother too cook, and the rest of us transitioned into my backyard where I had another enjoyable experience. There was a rope in my backyard, and this rope was a modern day iPhone. I would swing on this rope for countless hours day after day having the time of my life. This time it was different however, because I had my relatives there, and they would push me on it propelling me even further up making the experience of swinging on this rope even more enjoyable. Out of all the moments that day this is the one that I can remember the most

And i met some friends there and i got to eat bacon potato and cheese little lettuce. After that we went to are grandma's house for a little bit then we went home next morning i got to

I went to Disney World we went with my aunt, grandma and grandpa. We went on lots of fun rides I really enjoyed it. Another summer we started PKSA karate I am still doing it today.

My grandfather in law, Ray Schmitt, had a true connection with me and my family. Even though he was not directly related, he always treated me and my family like his sons and daughters. He would always welcome us with smiles and even though he fought through hard times, like occasion strokes, he never forgot to put a big smile on his face. My mom said, “ He was a devoted family man to everyone, and he was devoted to the faith, and that showed in his actions.”

Last summer my family and I visited my grandma in Missouri. I rarely saw her due to the fact I moved around a lot with my family being in the military.

When I was born my mother was 16 and my father was 17 my father had just joined the military and was getting ready to be deployed to Iraq for three years. He left when my mom was eight months pregnant with me. She was alone when she gave birth and she little to no support from the people around her. But she never let that faze her. She continued high school while working and still making time to raise

to meet my great grandmother on her deathbed and was lucky enough to grow up around my

During the winter break, I did a lot of things and I spent most of the time with my family and friends. One of the things, I did during the break was to go meet my uncle in Hayward, California. It was a very long drive but it was worth it. When we went there I met cousins who I haven’t seen for a long time. Then my cousins and I went to the mall to do some shopping. Then on our way back from the mall, we went to theater to watch a movie. We spent our Christmas in Hayward and I got a lot of presents. Then we came back to Bakersfield one day after Christmas. Second thing, I did was that I went to go meet my elementary friend. She wanted me to come over to her house. So I went to her house and we did a lot of stuff. First, we baked cupcakes and cookies. Then we watched a movie and after that we played

I went to go see my Uncle, my Aunt, my cousins, and my Grandpa. When I went to my grandfather’s

Two of the greatest days of my life were the days my daughters were born. The first time I held the both of them and gazed into their eyes I felt a sense of relief and hope. The feeling is a warm tingling sensation that engulfed my entire body. The emotions that I felt are beyond what words can explain. It’s amazing to me that in the first few minutes of their lives they completely changed my perception of the world.

That same night. my uncles and my dad took us where we lived for about a year. We lived with his friend´s family. There was only one bathroom and we had some problems because of that. We were six and they were four only. My dad started to think about renting an entire apartment, but we could not because my mom did not have a job. My dad was the only one who paid the rent which was $500 for a month. He was responsible to buy food and pay for all of our other needs.

Well in July the time I was out of school I went to Michigan to be my family and that time I had some fun times and had all my kids. Also my granny was sick so I stayed with her and that made her feel her better knowing that I was in town and that her other grandkids in town to see her. In that time we stayed there most of the time or is the kids was out I stayed there with here because she didn’t want to leave the house which was cool. I cooked and cleaned for her and made sure she was ok.

When I was six, my grandfather came to our house. He didn't come over often back then, but when he did, it was always special. He is an energetic old man, and enjoyed playing with us grandchildren. Another thing he liked to do was bring us presents and treats for me and my siblings. But this time, it wasn't candy or toys he brought me, it was my true first responsibility. He had brought me my first pocket knife.
