My Day Essay

One day I pondered threw the charity book shelves, idly searching for something that I wanted, though what that was one did not know. In a way that is the way shopping in charity shops tends to be, one never enters with a particular urgent need, one may be somewhat lackadaisical or off course I do often do be throwing my change into a wishing well- donating a few euro and hoping for what one hope to credit as a great find. My find was the 2009 Bestseller, One Day, by David Nicholls. The book covered with quotes such as ‘’ A Wonderful, Wonderful Book’’ The Times, was left lonely and isolated for a months and I’m sure it cried with the grief of me never opening a single page. But One Day I Did.

The most memorable day of life was when my cousin, Dwayne, and I decided we were going to see a movie. The new Fast and Furious movie had just come out, and we thought it would be nice to take our girlfriends. Before we went to the movies, we took a drive which we call “the eastern ride.” It’s a very pleasant ride with nice wind beautiful night skies. We put on some romantic music and when we got to this spot called “Point Udall,” there were some guys over there at the time that we didn’t know, but we really didn’t pay them no mind. That is just how my cousin and I were at the time. We never paid attention because we never caused trouble at all. But when It came to us, we were ready for it. So when one of the guys started talking nonsense to my cousin, I was standing there and just smiling in my head. I was like who is this guy really talking to? I told my cousin, “don’t bother with that.” That is not the match we usually look for and we left.

The sky was dark and sad that day, but even with a climate that gloomy it was a happy afternoon. Mom and dad made plans to go shopping for new clothes. We were in the U.S.A. and I was five, so I really didn’t have a choice to decide whether to go or not to where they were going shopping. The good thing was that my dad’s friend, Jacky, who was taking us to Walmart, promised me there were a lot of toys I could see, and compromised that if I liked one a lot she would buy it for me. It was the best feeling I had experienced in my small life.

It was a warm, perfect September morning. All was right with Mrs. Johnson. She had her hair all done up and she had her favorite dress on. It was light red. It was the same color as the trees that were starting to change. The sun had come up and it shined beautifully through the kitchen window, which exposed the delicious breakfast she had prepared.

Honestly if I were to think of my most important day, not even one would come to mind, because when your put on the spot to think of one it's hard. Although, there is one day that out of all is clear as daylight in my head, down to every second. I think this is due to the day being different than all the other days. In my life, I experienced something I thought I never would. My most important day of my life is when I finally met my older cousin Akash, while we were on our vacation on the cruise.

After we ate, my grandma, grandpa, Alex and I said our goodbyes to my dad and he left to go back home, since we were going to Disneyland. We decided to watch TV in the living room until my tia and cousins got to the house. Shortly later, they arrived and we had time to catch up with each other. It was starting to get late, so we decided to go to bed at an earlier time since we had to wake up early in the morning.That night, I tossed and turned, I was too excited to sleep and before I knew it, it was morning and my Tia came in to wake us up around 5:30; we had to leave no later than 6:15 so we could beat any traffic. My Tia checked the weather and there was no sign of any rain, but we had a sweatshirt each, “Just in case,” she said. We all

It was a hot summer night on July 5th I remember it was a day after the fourth of July. Arianna sent me a text asking to come over because she was bored and she complained how she hasn’t seen me in two days. Meanwhile i asked my mom if she could come over and stay the night. My mom was concerned because it was about eight fifty at night, but she didn't ask any questions she just picked up her keys and hooked the dog to her leash and told me to tell Arianna we were on our way. Arianna only lives two blocks away from me, and my mom didn’t mind her coming over because its not a long drive. When we pulled up to Arianna’s house she was sitting on her porch. Her hair was in a messy bun while she was wearing a baggy shirt and sweatpants. All i could do was laugh at her and think to myself “Thats my best friend alright”.

It was just another normal day. Waking up to the vociferous screams of fury that punctuated the silence of my apartment, I surveyed my surrounding blearily, dismissing the screams in its entirety. My neighbours were at it again. Morbidly, I couldn’t help but wonder if they were ever going to kill each other. Afterall, murder was so common nowadays since the charges never seemed to stick. Stretching slowly, I rose from my comfortable bed as I began to get ready for school. Then, once I was prepared, I grabbed my bag. Finally, I donned my pristine white shoes before quietly slipping out of my home to begin my daily stroll to school.

He looked at me and I didn’t know what to think, he gave me that look. That look of sudden disappointment, sudden regret. We sat at Blue Eagle Lounge at about 11:00 pm and he peered over my left shoulder. He stared a little longer and then he ran. How? What have I done? Why do I ruin every single good thing in my life? But then I remembered. I have done something terrible. Something that I will never forgive myself for.

It was a warm summer day in Florida. I wake up and crawl out of my bed. My feet are chilled by the cool, slick texture of the hardwood floor. My mom is calling me to come eat breakfast with the rest of the family. We were at our family beach house on vacation (a family ritual that we have been doing for the past five years). I greet everyone at the breakfast table as the aroma coming from the food draws me in. I sit down. On my plate sat three freshly baked pancakes, two crispy strips of bacon, and a large spoonful if scrambled eggs. While at the dinner table, we discussed activities to do for the rest of the day. It was decided that we would have the most fun if we went to the local beach so that way the we can choose to swim, go fishing, or go jet skiing.

I Still remember that day so well, the day when my perfect life ended, The day it was hard to breath. A couple of days ago, I was 15 and had that thought that I had the world figured out, Was most likely to be valedictorian, was the star quarterback on my school's football team, and of course had the most loving parents I could ever wish for. But that day It was a cooler day in late March. The wind was blowing softly, and the air felt dense in that airport. Lukas, my brother, was on his phone; while I ran around out of pure boredom finding anything I could do. We waited for hours, our Mother and Father were on a vacation for the past week and they were finally coming home. Lukas, my older brother and I waited with our grandmother beside us as she took care of us that week. The plane got delayed over five hours at one point, then it went off the radar.

It was a perfect day. The sun was like always, shining bright. No dark clouds to mar the beauty of the sky. But life is a surprise. You never know what to expect from it.

Projeto Tamar was an incredible life time moment, getting to do extraordinary things you don't do everyday like going zip lining, seeing turtles and most of all going on a trip with your friends and schoolmates without your parents.

“Son, we are moving to a different country” is a statement my father said on April 8th, 2012 which I hold dear to my heart till this very day not because it was my birthday but because it was a day that altered my life forever and made me who I am today.

My day started off just as it usually does, I wake up and go straight to the kitchen for my morning cup of hot chocolate. I knew that this day was going to be fun, it was New Year's eve. My grandparents were having a family party that night. I have a very close relationship with all of my family so seeing everyone together again was extremely exciting. We got to my grandparents house around 7 P.M. Most of my family arrived earlier so, I went off to see what my cousins were doing. I found them in the backyard driving rampant on my grandfather's new golf cart. I probably should have taken this as a sign to not get on, but everyone else was doing it so I decided I should just do it too. Our parents eventually told us it was getting too late and to come inside.
