church, on Popular Street for a baptism. This was the best night of my life because I was about to get baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints. I knew that this was going to be a great night because tomorrow I would be accepted into our church. At the beginning of the whole ceremony everyone was so positive about me getting baptized. They were still positive even if they were not part of the church like a bunch of my friends. When we got to the church I got this indescribable

Today was supposed to be the best day of my life, but we had to take a detour when an out of control SUV decided differently. I was really looking forward to the day that I got out of school for a whole day. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love school and I love learning new things, but sometimes I just need a day off.

There was a time in my life where I didn’t see my dad much. After him and my mom split up, my dad was on a search for better opportunities and options for his future career.

Wow, I want to be friends with her. “Hey, do you want to go on the tire swing with me?” “Yes, that sounds like fun!” She said back. We played the whole the recess together. Our first-grade teacher Mr
Part One All my life I have always had people look up to me and friends constantly coming to me for advice or guidance. I love to help others and I love to see others being the best versions of themselves that they can be. After completing the strengths quest test and receiving my results, I could not agree more with my outcome.

Death of my pet In my childhood I had a few terrible experiences but none stuck out more than when my dog died, this was a shock for me growing up with a friend that had been taken from my life so suddenly, I felt so insecure and venerable as a friend I always had by my side no matter what was gone and I was all alone now. I realised how long I had known my pet that my dog was no longer a dog or a pet but my friend from such an early age all through my life had been there until one day she just wasn’t
