My most memorable childhood event was when I was 15 years old. It was the Fourth of July. A big family vacation a barbeque, over night stay and out of town trip to six flags, and I had a blast the night before me, my mom, sisters and brother packed our bags to stay the night over my cousin house in Goodlettsville ,Tennessee. She had the biggest house ever I thought it was a mansion; six bedrooms two an half bath, a swimming pool, a game/movie room with a nice big kitchen. It was something that I was not use, knowing that we stayed in a three bedroom based on an income apartment on the East side of Nashville. Arriving to my cousin house i seen alot of my family members even the ones that was from out of town. We greeted eachother and …show more content…
We finally came to a stop i was waken by my big brother hitting me with a water balloon. i was pissed and i rush out the car to get him back but my mom was giving us that you better act like you got some sence or we leaving look so we got under control. Once we got in the theme park the fun had begun. There were so many rides big and small. Some of them i did'nt get to ride because i was too short and they didnt believe my age. So i was mad and ready to home because i thought it was unfair. So i decide to stay by the pool with my granny and Aunt Jackie. Which was fine with me because they gave me money to play games and to get food. I remember almost collecting fifthy dollars from them and that was alot of money to me. I listen to all the grown up gossip. They were funny until they realized i was laughing with them. So they made me go play. I finally seen my brother swimming so that was my plan in revenge i jump on him while he was under water and didnt let him until i felt like he had enough.After while it turned into a game of marco polo. Then it was time to go we got together we all gathered at the concenstation stand and got food and drinks. We took a couple of pictures together and said our last goodbyes before we hopped back on the road to go home. I had so much fun at that the sometimes i wish i could go back to that age at times, but now i have my own kid to raise and have family vacation with. I just
The biggest memories that come to me are going to church in my hometown. Every Sunday was a special schedule. I got to wear my best clothes of the week, which was usually a dress, long socks, and a bow for my hair. Once my whole family was ready we would walk to church. On our way, my mom would often stop and talk to neighbors. Sometimes I would have to remind her that we were going to church or tell her that we were going to be late. Mass was an hour or so. After mass, my mom and dad would give me money to buy an ice cream or junk food. When I finished my ice cream, we would walk home with neighbors who lived on the same street. Walking home everybody would talk about how beautiful the ceremony was and how well the priest explained the Gospel. I loved the sense I was given by my neighbors. Comforting and belonging is what I felt when I was around them. McClay and McAllister refer to this as “anchor our memories in something more substantial than our thoughts and emotions,” which is my hometown connecting me back to my neighbors at my
Everyone has a favorite memory about their lives. My favorite memory took place when I traveled to Ohio in 2014 for Thanksgiving.
My most significant childhood experience is when I came to the United States for the first time. I was born and raised in Cali, Colombia for 12 years. For most of the people outside the country, who is struggling financially, coming to this country is a dream full of opportunities. It was a long process to come here, since my biological father was a homeless person, and I needed permission from him to come here. Thankfully after two years of dealing with lawyers, my sister and I made it to get our visas. It was my first time in an airplane as well, so everything was an adventure.
Often times we find ourselves thinking about the past only to try to force the memories away and return to our current delusion. We can never erase the past, but if the past is who we are, then should we just welcome pain back into our lives? Embarrassment, guilt, and pride betray us as we choose to bury our darkest memories in our head and look to a positive future without ever having to readdress them and acknowledge that they had ever happened in the first place. Thinking back now my weakest moment caught me by complete surprise.
When I was in 5th grade at the age of 10 I was fortunate enough to go on a vacation out of the country. This was a pivotal moment in my life because my family had never really had enough money to go on a trip with all of us, but we did this time because my dad saved up; we were going to the Philippines. Even though it was just supposed to be a vacation, it ended up being something completely different. During our time there, we stayed with my uncle who lived in an underprivileged neighborhood.Spending time with my relatives in that place made me realize that I took things for granted. My thoughts recollected at the church, where I really saw a different view of my dad. He was teaching in a huge, crowded church and what he said and did seemed
It was the day after my sister's Quinceanera, and all my family was here. They were leaving back to their homes Monday morning, so keep in mind it is Sunday. All of our parents were talking outside and saw that us kids didn’t really have anything to do, so they decide to take us to a river that was 5 minutes away from my aunt's ranch. We packed up all our food and stuff and went right away.
My first trip to Disney World, now that, that was a memorable trip. That trip was one of the most magical and happiest memories of my life. It was back in 2008, I had just turned 6 years old a few months before we left to go there. It was summertime, and the weather was perfect. I remember being so bored on the way there because I am an only child so I didn’t have anyone to entertain me besides myself. My mom’s side of the family went on this trip with us, and at the time I was the only grandkid, and the only kid at all. So once we finally were almost there I remember passing the big ‘Welcome to Disney World” sign and being so excited I peed my pants--my mom was pretty mad, but my dad thought it was kinda funny so I didn’t get in too much trouble.
Favorite memory as a child well the one I cherish is meeting my real mom for the first time. I may not have been the best towards her but in my defense she left me when I was 1. I remember sitting on her lap coloring with my little brother in a
I also went and saw my Aunt Ronna i was so happy to see her I also saw my cousin Sheila and my aunt’s cats Oscar and Hailey, the dog Penny and her fish i call her Wish. When i was there with my mom my sister and Aunt Selina who we were taking to be there a week before my cousin’s wedding, with my Aunt Ronna we did crosswords, watched George Lopez, King of Bel-Air, Major Crimes, and Criminal Minds, we also stayed up but that wasn’t with my Aunt Ronna I was up till 2:30 AM.That day Sheila made dinner we had chicken and
My first favorite memory, I believe took place after my senior year of high school. My Dad came up with the idea to go to Washington DC for a daytrip (he used to work for the airline we got nearly free airfare). Since we only had hours to spend we chose to go to the Smithsonian. Flying out, taking transportation to the museum, meandering thru the museum, transportation back to the airport, followed by flying home. It was a whirlwind of a day.
We drove to L.A it was my brother, sisters, my mom, and stepdad. we signed into where we were staying and we got unpacked then we later left to go see my step-dad’s family at their hotel. The next day we drove to Universal Studios and waited for my step-dad’s family to meet so we can eat then get in line to buy the fast passes. We bought the fast passes, so we could get on rides quicker. We went to eat before we got on rides we all had separate meals then we went on rides
Describe the single MOST important event or non-academic activity in your life and explain why it’s significant. (250)
Today i am going to write about a very memorable time of my life. I will never in a million years forget this very major event. I bet you're wondering ‘‘what, just tell me,’’ am i right? Well ill tell you My mom had been diagnosed with cancer about 3 years ago. FOR THE SECOND TIME. The type of cancer was Appendix cancer. My mom got it removed so don't worry. It took alot though and it was rough. I for sure won't forget that it was definitely memorable not in the good way unfortunately. My grandparents all have had a past of cancer so it is very likely i am going to have it later on but we keep praying that no one will ever have cancer again. The color of ribin for this type of cancer is yellow, or it could be zebra striped because of how rare the disease is their are less than 20,000 cases of appendix cancer per year.

The most important event in my life, didn’t even happen to myself, but happened to my older sister, Becky. The reason I am writing about her is because the things that have happened to her and the things she has done in the past have affected me tremendously as well as my family. Her life used to be filled with nothing else but drugs, stealing, and lying. My family has never been the same since then.
