Have you ever desired something so much you would do everything to earn it? Have you ever had to convince someone to grant you something? How far did you have to go to convince them? Early on throughout my childhood their has been one thing I have wanted, a pet, new family member, a dog. My sister and I both wanted a dog, but my parents on the other hand did not. We made tiny PowerPoints or a list of reasons why we should buy a puppy. I used my persistence and determination to overcome my challenge of convincing my parents to purchase a dog.
Ever since I was younger I have adored dogs. Whenever we drove to the park as a family, my sister, Carolina, and I would see a dog and ask my parents, "Can we get a dog?"

For instance, the most popular and repeated excuse was we don’t have time for a pet.

When we arrived at the dog store, I was filled with joy because I knew that it was finally the day. As I entered the store I saw a little, white, fluffy puppy that I knew would be mine. We chose the youngest one out of the five that we saw, which was a girl. My sister was holding the soft puppy that looked like a cozy blanket. I saw my dad approach other dogs.
"How about these dogs over here?" He mentioned.
"No! We want this one." Carolina and I argued. We continued repeating ourselves until my mom placed a deposit on the dog, so the next day we can come and pick the dog up. The next day was a Monday, and right after school we drove to the store to pick the puppy up. My sister and I both agreed to name her Lyla. After a few weeks it felt like we've always had her with us. I could not explain how excited I
