My Birthday Story

The sky was always blue holding sunshine rays in her world. Her name was Rosaline Deponte, my great-grandma. The continuous smile that she showed on her face reminded us how precious life is and to not take things for granted. Cold wood floors that could easily freeze toes, single-walled construction, shut rows of jalousie windows, and the smell of warm sweet bread on the counter 24/7, that was Rosaline’s house.

One day me my mom and dad and sister we were driving to my aunt and uncle's house.It was about 3:00 and me and my cousins we were playing football.And my mom and my auntie they were making dinner.And my dad and uncle were watching a baseball game.And then it was time to eat.

“Hey I'll go waste a few bucks to see her dance” the other said I clenched my hands into fists. It took all my strength not to turn around and sock the both in the mouth. I shook the thought out of my mind and I unlocked my apartment door and walked

We all jumped in the car and headed to the beach. When we arrived, my jaw drooped down like weights were hanging on it. The lake looked like it was a ocean. Turns out most the lakes and rivers in New York are a lot bigger than the ones in Colorado. I stepped into the sand and it was seeping through my toes. I walked up to the water and carefully dipped my feet in to make sure it wasn't to cold, but out of surprise it was warm. I walked right into the water like someone would take a calming walk through the park. It was an amazing day, take out the fact that you had to walk a hundred million miles to get the water to be the height of your waist. It was like the people were ants out there in the water. We went to lunch after that but, I never looked took any time to look at the restaurant name. After all there was a lot more to see than words. We went home after lunch, but in my surprise they had a 4-wheeler. They asked if I knew how to drive one and I said “yes!” She asked if I wanted to drive it, I excitedly said yes again. She gave me the keys and I said “thank you” and took off running like I was an olympic champion. I dug the key into the ignition and drove off into the forest with no delay. I took the pathway back home, parked the 4-wheeler, then thanked her again and gave her the keys. Than we ate dinner the grown ups talked and when it got late we went to

    I responded with the usual “fine” and asked her back, but that's when she said something that caught my attention...

October 11th, 2013, the day was beautiful outside, I could hear the world singing. I woke up and was happy to tell my dad happy 38th birthday. I was excited to give my dad and his birthday card and make his day started off great. I was excited to eat cake and ice cream with him and have fun. I went downstairs to meet my mom and to help set up a line of cards, cake, and ice cream. We filled each card with loving thoughts about him. He looked like a kid opening his presents on Christmas. As he walked down the stairs we all yelled surprise.

It was September the 9th my birthday. I had just turned 16 and my mother and father had a big surprise for me. They got me a new car with a full tank of gas. My aunt got me a gas card with a 150 dollars on it. They she took me to a rim and speaker store and got me some rims and speakers. My dad took me out to eat and the movies. When I came home, we had a party.

happened on his/her birthday before he/she was even thought of? Do they ever wonder about the special events that happened on that day besides their birth? I was astonished to have found out how much had happened on October 19.

On the morning of my birthday, my mom brought in breakfast on a tray so that I could eat breakfast in bed. She kissed and hugged me and wished me a happy birthday. She was the one who always made my birthday extra special with love. While I was eating breakfast, my mom ironed my new dress. She knew how excited I was to wear it. She wanted to make sure my birthday was everything I wished for. She laid my dress flat on my bed and waited outside my bedroom door while I got dressed. After I put my new dress on, I opened my bedroom door to signal my mom back in so that she could do my hair. She asked me what I wanted done to my hair and I immediately said, “braids!” She made two french braids that split right down the middle of my head. After my hair was done, she helped me pick a headband to complement my new dress.

It was November 21st.. The weather was nice and warm that day, fall always seemed to be in Florida around this time of the year. But it wasn't just any day for me, it was my 11th birthday and I was so thrilled. My house was full of large helium balloons, streamers that said "Birthday Girl" on them, colored ribbons in the kitchen and living room since early that morning because my mother always went all out on me back when she still considered me to be too young to do it myself. The whole family was beginning to arrive. Along with them came the mountain of presents that began to increase in size with every loved one. Walking through the house I could hear laughing and talk of the upcoming sporting events. Everyone greeted me on their way in mentioning how "big I have gotten" and how much I "look just like your mother" and some asking how school was going. It was really nice having the whole family together

“Everyone ready? Get in the car.” My mom said, on Christmas eve near 1:00 pm. My sister and I gallop into the car with our Christmas dresses and furry boots. We all get into the old gray Toyota, turn on the heaters, and all click our seatbelts. “Everyone exited” my dad say’s bubbly said to us. “Of course we are!” my sister and I giggled. We drive through the the snowy flurries of December, to get to my yayas house for a Christmas and birthday celebration. My sister and I have always called our grandma Yaya since we were born. We pulled into the driveway of her teal house with a delicate layer of snow on the roof. There were already four other cars there, my cousins(Mitch, Zach, and Tassia), my aunt Coco and John's car, and my Yayas boyfriend Bob. We all opened our doors, and grabbed the gifts, food, and coats. We all stroll up the sidewalk and ring the doorbell. The bell chimed and my Yaya came ad unlocked the door. With her thick German accent she said, “Meine Schnuckelchen!, Mitch, Zach, you cousins are here!” Soon enough my cousins come down stairs, “ Hey Grace, and Sarah how are you?” they ask us with their adult voices. We exchange hugs and kisses, and finally make it past the front door to get to the kitchen. “ Hi Coco!” I chirped to her. “ Hi sweety, how are you doing?”. I always respond with great, i mean who's not great on Christmas eve! After we say our hellos to everyone, my sister and I get our special glasses and pour our sparkling cider into them listening

“You asked for that jacket”, I answered him, I walked out of the room, and put my jacket on and looked in the mirror, I looked flawless, I sat down and when I looked in the mirror all I could see was popularity and fame. I even combed my hair and i looked like I was an official biker. I walked downstairs looking and feeling like royalty as I walked into

All I can remember is my piercing red blood dripping on the bone-chilling surface of the ice skating rink. I restrained myself from looking down at my hand, knowing I wasn’t going to be pleased with the results. The thought of being fingerless traumatized me. I laid my hand on the cold surface where I had fallen, hoping that it would numb the pain. I said to myself, “It shouldn’t be that bad, just take a look.” I began to slowly move my head downward, thinking about the worst possibilities. Once I set my watery blue eyes on my finger I let out a roaring scream.

It is April 4th. It is my 21 birthday.21 years ago I was born and got named Thea. My mom Emily, dad James, sister Maddison, and brother Liam are coming over to celebrate my birthday. There are a few things I must do before they come.
