Best Days of My Life Essay

It was August 2nd, the day I had to leave for Chicago to experience what was about to be the best day of my life. Around 7 pm that night my boyfriend Bruce, his family and I got into the car to start heading to Chicago. A few hours later had passed being in the car and we finally arrived at his relatives home that we would be staying at for three nights. I had never met the relatives of his that owned the home we were staying at so he introduced them to me.

having rules to follow wasn’t unheard of with my family. There was always a way to behavior with friends/family, at school, at home and out in the street.

At the beginning it was hard to believe, unfair, selfish.

This is probably the…

out my strengths seemed kind of bogus. I wasn’t all for it; it honestly seemed like a waste of time. Once we got to class and started analyzing our strengths, I began to realize that maybe this quiz wasn’t such a joke.

It turns out that it is actually more productive to capitalize on our strengths rather than try develop our weaknesses. By using…

waiting for had begun. I was singing my heart out for my annual All State Audition. The butterflies in my stomach almost eating me alive, knowing I had made it the past two years and could not make a mistake, I had to be perfect. In an instant, my eyes wandered and lost my spot in the music which I was currently singing from. I had messed up, big time. There was no way i could recover from this accident. I was sure to be done for. Nothing made sense and there was no reason at all why that should…
