Memories Make Life Memorable

What’s a memory? Is it good or bad? Well, there are many different types of memories, but the ones that I like to remember are good memories. This is something that stays in your heart forever and you love to remember it and when you think about it you find yourself with a huge smile upon your face.

When I think of a memory, there is one that always seems to pop into my mind right away. It was the first time my mom had left me with my sisters so she could go to the store. But, I never got along with them when I was smaller so I decided that I was going to leave the house without them seeing me so I could go to the store to because I wanted fruit snacks and I didn’t know if my mom would remember to pick them up for me. So there I was, 7 years old and walking to the store by myself. I thought that I was the coolest person ever, then once I hit main street a cop spotted me and asked me where I was headed and once I told him he made me get into the back of the police car so that he could take me back home because I was obviously too young to be out and about by myself. Everyone thought this was horrible, but once he dropped me off he allowed me to see the whole vehicle and he even turned on the lights and sirens on so that I could see and hear them. So you see, this was something that I had always wished to do but never had the chance till that day. Even though I was not allowed to play with my dolls for a week because that was my punishment I would never take back that day for anything because even though it was wrong to leave the house I had finally fulfilled my dream to see that police car. That is why this was my favorite memory.

Even though a memory can be small and big doesn’t mean that it’s not special to someone. Thinking about their own memory could be the only thing putting a smile on their face every day. So remember, live for the moment because you never know if that one thing you’re doing can lead to one of the greatest memories of your life.
