Best Day of My Life
I remember that day well. It was just another match day at the
coliseum but this was different because that day I was going. I woke
early that day with anticipation. I raced down the stairs putting my
clothes on as I went even though I knew that the battle wasn't on for
another two hours. I could see that day would be a day I would never
forget because crowds of people were already walking past the door,
there had never been that amount of people that early before. A truck
rolled past carrying bloodthirsty tigers which was heading for the
abnormally large arena, I thought these must be for another battle but
I was later proved wrong.
I joined the bloodthirsty, anxious crowd as I jogged towards the
crowded building. I got through the main doors aiming for the main
arena to get my seat when scores of people rushed past me knocking to
the cold, concrete floor. I hadn't a clue on what was going on, that
was until Maximus; the star of the show helped me up. I almost
fainted, not many people even had th...
And from what I gathered from looking around me, others were too. Lauren Way, an usher, signaled for us to stand and to make our way to the altar. My hands were shaking, and I wished they would stop. We stay standing as reach the altar. To calm my nerves, I thought that in about five minutes, I would have a new pin on my jacket. I really couldn’t wait. My brother looks at me to be still, so I stop.
"My costume clung to me and I was aflame, I couldn't rise out of this
This day held an a very memorable event in my life that I will never forget. All the excitement and anxiety I felt this day will not be
“Buzz” Aldrin, pilot of the Lunar module for the Apollo 11 space flight to the moon, coincided in his priest shortly before the launch of Apollo 11. Aldrin was scared that neither the Apollo 11 mission commander Neil Armstrong, nor the public would understand the social and philosophical ramifications of landing on the moon. Shortly after the Lunar Module landed at Tranquility base, on the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969, Aldrin asked NASA officials and everyone else who might be listening to take a minute of personal prayer and contemplate what man had just accomplished. Aldrin then preformed he ritual of communion in the Lunar Module.
Now that I was on the ground, I tugged the hood of my jacket over my head, hiding my face-the first rule Rook ever taught the Knights of the Red Cross was "don't let people recognize you." Breathing deeply, I stepped
I felt my adrenaline start to kick in as the commander began ordering men to proceed, my vision started to narrow in, like looking through a tunnel. My hearing also became numb, nothing was processing right, my body was shouting at me to leave but once everyone started to run forward I followed like a sheep.
I was frozen in place, I was petrified, I felt fucking stupid. I must have looked like a deer in headlights, I could even feel the strain on my eyes from holding my eyelids open so long. My weapon, slipped from my hand. It was pointless,
After the tall, white men handed us our tickets and Jimin convinced me to take them, we ran to get on the ship. Neither of us had the money to buy any clothes, and the only clothes we took were the ones we had on our body.
The day started off like any average day, I took a hot shower, got dressed and got prepared for the day. It wasn’t until I sat down and started eating my bowl full of cheerios with extra sugar, that I realized what was actually happening. Today would be the day I finally bought my first car, after a year of hard work and conservative economic decisions.
I am a stay-at-home mom. When I used to hear the words stay-at-home mom, I would picture; a mom eating bon-bons, lounging on the sofa watching soap shows all day. This is a common stereotype for stay-at-home moms, who have choose to let their careers go out the window to stay home with the children; however, I have chosen to be a stay-at-home mom while being a full time college student, as well as being a full time mom. In order to dispel some of the stereotypes of a stay-at-home mom, allow me to share a typical day in my life as a stay-at-home mom of my nine month old daughter. My day usually starts at seven in the morning. If my daughter has not woken up yet, I usually get up to do a little bit of the homework I wasn’t able to finish the night before. I love mornings like this. When the house is still quiet and there is nothing so important that I can’t just sit down and do homework for a few minutes before she wakes up. By eight o’clock the house is in full swing. Kaydence is up watching Baby Einstein in the living room. I’m in the kitchen making breakfast, whether it is eggs, oatmeal, or toast and honey. I can usually tell how the day will go based on how the morning begins. If kaydence is in a bad mood and I have to try and make our breakfast while holding her, it will be a hectic and very long day. Breakfast is usually done by nine. Kaydence has gotten her morning bath, has a fresh diaper, and is dressed and ready to play. Normally we would head out on a morning walk in the stroller, but snow and ice are keeping us inside. I set out some toys and books, put in another Baby Einstein. That way I can attempt to do some cleaning. If I can get the dishwasher unloaded and loaded again, and run the vacuum over the carpet in t...
Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever. The best day of my life was definitely the day that I received my drivers’ license. This day is one of the most memorable because of the feelings I had when I received it, the opportunities that were opened up for me and the long lasting benefits that I received from it that still exist today.
I looked back at my attire and thought ‘I would never exchange this for anything in the world’.
It is a sunny morning. I am home with my stepfather and brothers. The clouds seem perfectly shaped as they swivel in the sky. The birds whistle a tune no morning has heard and the trees dance as the breeze whips. I am stuck indoors, and I am missing what seems to be the perfect day. My brother is leaving to head to basketball camp. My other brother is heading to work. Today was going to be a day with just my stepdad and me. He prepares breakfast for me, and the smell captivates my senses. I stop staring out the window and head to the bathroom and then to the table to eat. This is the perfect day.
Throughout life we come across many people, some who influence us in negative ways, and those who influence in good ways, often changing our complete outlook on life. For me, it took the struggle of one of my best friends to open my eyes. I only wish it wasn't too late to thank her.
Day 2 begins and you’re still excited but by mid-afternoon, you can see that you
