January 13: The Past Ten-Personal Narrative
Here it is, a complete document of the precise history of what was happening on my birthday the past ten years. Keep in mind that ten years ago was actually 1989, not 1988. It may not be what you would call interesting, but I will try. I have taken each January 13th of the past ten years and put some of the events that happened in different categories that will help correlate my paper and make it easier to read. Rather than start with just the past ten years, it would be a shame not to share with you some of the more important outside the past ten years that occurred on January 13th. I would like to enlighten you on some of the other great events that occurred on this important date throughout history with a brief overview of some trivial facts I have found. The earliest, and most unique event that I found other than troop movements in the Mexican war, was the patenting of the accordion on Jan 13, 1854, in 1906 the first radio receivers were advertised for $7.50 in the "Scientific America Magazine", in 1942 Henry Ford patented the plastic automobile which made for a 30% weight decrease in cars, and Elvis recorded the song, "All Shook Up" on January 13, 19571. (These were interesting to me so I thought should tell about them). Famous songs toping the charts on this day include: I got you (I feel good) by James Brown, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by the Beatles, and You look so good in love by George Straight2. Let's not forget to add list of important people, (other than me), that bask in the glory of this day:
1885 - Alfred Fuller (company founder: The Fuller Brush man!)
1908 - Earl Wheeler (WWII U.S. Army General, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chief of Staff [1964-70]; namesake fo...

Well there it is, there it was, and now you have read the past Ten years of my birthday and the events that occurred on it. In the last ten years many things have happened on my birthday. From the patenting of the accordion in 1854 to the Gulf war to Emma Massey turning 117 years old, you name it. After all the word and events that I have named the only thing I have to say is I hoped you have enjoyed reading about my past ten birthdays as I have had living them.

The 11th day of September, 2001 was not just any ordinary day. It was an annihilating day for both me and my country. That day symbolized the burial of my grandfather, who died the week prior. My grandfather, played a fundamental role in my life. He encouraged me both spiritually and educationally. This is also the day that the Islamic terrorist group Al-Qaeda decided to attack the United States. They achieved the attack, though the hijacking of four planes; this caused the complete destruction of the Twin Towers (North and South) of the World Trade Center located in New York City. The terrorist group was also responsible for the partial collapse of the Pentagon. They did, however fail in their attempt on attacking the United States
It was the day of April 13, 2000. I woke up at exactly 12 o’clock because my boyfriend was to pick me up at 1 like we planned the night before. The day looked quite nice, but I was in a fowl mood. I got into a car accident the night before and had a huge argument with my parents about the car. I finally dragged myself into the shower and got ready in half an hour. Then I went downstairs, sat on my couch, and repeatedly told myself the day would hopefully turn out better than last night. At around 1:15, my boyfriend came to pick me up. We took the 5 freeway to the 57 since it was the only way I knew how to get there. As we approached the 134 freeway, my girlfriend veered to the right, taking the 210 which was wrong way and got us lost. So, we exited the freeway and got back on the right track. Then finally, before long, we reached Norton Simon.
All the people around me were excited and were in a very festive mood; and they all were perfectly allowed to do so. After all, it was the Fourth of July, Independence Day, and my birthday. I had a very pleasant feeling as I strolled through the row of tents at the beach with my friends by my side, as I observed countless people enjoying themselves under the summer sun in the commotion of the small festival. The city was quite festive – decorated by splashes of red, white, and blue everywhere. People occasionally wore a plastic Uncle Sam’s hat, wore patriotic boardshorts, or somehow showed off how American they were proud to be. It was a wonderful feeling and it was by far the best birthday that

First, Birthdays are very important event in people life’s , but for me it was not
My birthday is next month and I am going to be thirteen! I am not able to do much for my birthday this year because of the war going on around us. The destruction makes me so sad. Where we live isn’t really ruined because of where we are located but that doesn’t mean we don’t see other places that get destroyed.
In this paper I’m going to share with you, a very special event in my life. The day I came to the United States of America, a day I will never forget. A day I used to dream of even at the young age of 6. The day I reunited with my Beloved Mother.
