Fifteen Years

     They say that I was born fifteen years ago at this particular time.  My father says that the family's life was completely changed, and my mother says that that year brought growth and happiness to the world. 

    November 9^th, 1997 was the day.  It was the day when I first breathed the air of Alahssa, it was the day when I first saw the sun, it was the day when everyone welcomed me to the world.  When I look back now and remember some memories of my life, I see a kid who wanted to play with her Barbies, I see her holding the pencil writing her first words.  I also see a girl who give her first speech, and I see her trying to write her first essay.  I see a teenager who determines that she wants to be a writer, I see her writing her first organized essay with her bad handwriting, I see her giving more speeches, and I see her grow up with more confidence and dreams.

     Fifteen years are so great, each birthday had its own memories.  Each year cared with it something new.  Each year taught me how to be an adult.  And Each year showed me why I want to be a professional writer.

   I promised myself that I'll accomplish all of my dreams by the age of twenty-five.  I want to grow more, I want to read more, I want to accomplish more, I want to write more, I want to learn more, I want to travel more, I want to know more about the world, because as the say ''The world is a big book, those who don’t travel get to read only one page.''.

    I would like to thank my parents for bringing to life.  I would like to thank my two sisters for being there for me from day one.  I would like to thank  those who have a huge part in my life.  I would like to thank Google, and ALL of my friends for wishing me a happy birthday.  I don't know if ''thank you'' is enough to tell you that your birthday wishes meant the world to me.  But believe me when I say that I was looking at the mobile screen with a huge smile on my face, feeling super happy and blessed to have people like you in my life.

Thanks again.
