"If you want to live a happy life tie it to a goal, not to people or things." I think to myself as my dad yells up the stairs. "C'mon Mer, get ready," his fruity voice echoes throughout the halls, booming as if he had a microphone. Echoing off the walls and filling the entire upstairs with his deep voice. Today is the day, my greatest dream and goal finally comes true. The day that dad finally lets me tag along on one of his missions for work. I've been nine for about seven months and he said I was finally ready. He didn't even get to go out on a mission with his father till he was twelve. That means I'm way more advanced than him I don't even try to be modest when I mention it practically every other second. This is literally the best day of my life! I don't see how anything will ever top this, and the day has just begun. I've been learning ever since I could walk to follow in my dad and his father's footsteps to be a Mercenary. It's one of the highest paying and provincial jobs in the Rapture Providence. Everyday I put 110% into my training and studying. Now all my hard work is about to pay off. Dad has taught me everything I need to know, and I've learned a little about everything along the way. I swiftly throw on my clothes, run downstairs, grab my FN Patrol Bolt Rifle, and take two steel bladed throwing knives and sheath them to my body. Then I grab an apple and we're out the door. ***** Dad lets me scope out a hiding place while we wait. He picked the area based off

There are many times in one's life in which one day can considered to be the best day of their life. The phrase is often used, "This is the best day ever!" I too have used the phrase once or twice. But the one time that I consider the best day ever was the moment I took a trip to the Keys. It was amazing, I honestly have never had that much fun and it's a time I'm going to remember for the rest of my life. If I could go back and do it over, I would, in a heartbeat.
Let me start by saying, who doesn't enjoy a getaway? It's so nice to get away from all your worries and stress. Spending some quality time with your loved ones really makes you realize how much time you never get to spend with them. In a way, it makes you want to spend even more time with them. In that moment of my life, I was so caught up with school, and sports. I barely got to spend any time with my family. So, when I heard my mother had planned a one–week trip to the Keys, I was so excited! Not only was I going to the Keys with my family, my cousin and best friend in the whole entire world, Emely, and her family was also coming along with us.
Besides the fact that we were stuck sitting in the car for a whole seven hours, it was worth it once we got to the Keys. My family rented out a condo which included a huge outdoor pool along with a hot jacuzzi with a beautiful view of the beach which was right across the street from where we were staying. I had never seen a view so beautiful. The air was so fresh and the environment was so peaceful. As soon as we arrived, we got situated into our condos. Soon after that, we were quick to jump into our swimsuits and straight into the pool. My cousin, Emely and I were jumping in and out of the pool and then into the jacuzzi. The first night there was already amazing. I was so excited to see what else our parents had in mind, for more fun had yet to come. The next morning, we got up bright and early. I remember my mom telling us all to pack our swimsuits and towels with a change of clothes. We ate and then we all got into the car. My dad started driving us to a place filled with boats. Curious to know why we were pulling up to a place like this. We got out with all of our belongings

My family and I, went for leisure to New York for a period of 5 days, in July of 2016. I had never been in New York before, but the day we arrived, on a warm afternoon, I found it beautiful, fulfilling and diverse. I had never seen a place so unique as this one before.
The best day of my life was the day after my 14th birthday, on July 4th of 2016, which was our third day inManhattan.
The day started as we strolled together across the streets, with our "I love New York" matching t–shirts, without having a clue on where to have our breakfast. This was a warm and sunny day, where the streets were quiet and birds flew everywhere around the apple, as it was 10 A.M. After walking for a while, without knowing where to go, we found an amazing...show more content...
Thinking that there was going to be a high difficulty level on finding a nice place to eat at 10 P.M in the 4th of July, my mom made a move and reserved a restaurant. Later, when we went to the place, we discovered that after 10 P.M, minors were not allowed, as the restaurant became a bar at this time. When we left the place, without knowing where to go, an interesting option glanced our eyes across the street: It was a restaurant of species.
I had never seen a restaurant as romantic and beautiful before. Every item inside the room had a purpose that made the design look fantastic. We ate a series of unknown things, which turned out to taste magnificent and different.
At 11 P.M, already done for the day, we walked back to our hotel room. I changed, showered and got ready for bed, the place on which the best day of my life came to a sweet end.
The best day of your life doesn't just include the place you were or what you did, but also the company you had. The company of my family was a big influence, aside from what I did and where I was, that made this day one of the best days of my
THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
Everything started on a beautiful sunny day, I was nine months pregnant with the most beautiful belly shape, but also it was ready to pop. That morning I woke up feeling different, it was an unexplainable type of excitement running through my body. I wanted to get dolled up, so I curled my hair, put some makeup on and wore my long blue dress. My husband and I decided to have a little date, so we went to town and had lunch together at a restaurant, and also went last minute shopping for our baby. Everything just felt magical that day, and I just couldn't understand why. We arrived home late in the evening, and suddenly my contractions started, as time went by they were getting worse and worse. I refused to go to ...show more content... Luckily, my doctor was on call, nurses started coming in the room, and they set me up in no time. Another doctor came and done my epidural, everything was going great, I was not feeling any pain, but suddenly I stopped dilating at four o'clock. I was five centimeters and at nine o'clock I was only seven centimeters. My contractions were getting ridiculous, my epidural was no longer working. My doctor was no longer on call, and no–one bothered to tell me so. Everything just went down the hill for me; Every second was an eternity from there, my pain was unbearable to the point where I just felt blood coming out of my face, but finally there was 11:10 a.m. it was time to push. I have never felt so motivated in my life to do something while being in so much pain at the same time. It was 11:20 a.m., and I swear I never once shed a tear during my entire labor, but once I saw that little tiny angel like face I was bawling of joy. My heart melted, my eyes were brightened of sunshine, I went up to the stars and came back, the entire world just stopped for a while and it felt like it was just me and him. I slowly and carefully looked at him. I saw his little feet and hands, his tiny finger and toes, his perfect pink lips. He had the prettiest brown round eyes, chubby cheeks and a head full of dark hair. I knew then I was inlove, the most pure and beautiful love I have ever felt in my heart. That was love at first sight. I turned around and saw my
Whoosh! I can still see the moment he hit the water. The moment sometimes plays in my head like it happened in real life slow motion. I knew I would never forget it. You should know a few things about me before you read about the best day of my life. Before today I thought that if I didn't start stressing about my future, I would never end up getting anywhere. This is the day everything changed. AAAHHHH!! That morning started like any other, my small obnoxious mutt of a dog licking my face like it was its job. I saw a bright and youthful sun, like the old one retired and this one took its place, warm and new. I wasn't mad this time, I laughed and played with her a few minutes before running upstairs for breakfast. On my way up the stairs I could hear the small birds chirping songs of joy, right before I heard my mom yell, "Oh no, something wicked this way comes!" I swear she loves me, but I quietly shot back with a, "good morning to you too." I shot pancakes into my throat, I felt like I hadn't eaten in ages, the hunger rose inside of me like a demon. After I ate, I felt like I had a ton of cement in my stomach, I swore to my mom I would never eat again, but of course I did. That morning my mom and I sat at the table talking about our days so far. My mom and I talked about what I would do that day, "I really don't know," I lied as we talked. I knew that today would bea good day I just didn't know how good it really would be. Once I got picked up to go to

I'm so sorry that I couldn't journey through life with you like an ordinary mother and child. I'm sorry that I couldn't lead you through life. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there for you when times were tough. I'm sorry that I left you as soon as you were born but I had no choice. The day you were born was the best day of my life, truly, I finally knew what it meant to become a mother and it was astounding how much responsibility I suddenly had on my shoulders. Your dad was in trouble withthe police for standing up for Jose, he was Jose's best friend and assisted him in every way possible so that he could bring the stolen money back to the people, I'm sure that he would be so proud of what you've done son. Your Aunt has told me every single part of your story and shown me the goodbye letter you sent to me. I don't know what you look like but I know that you must be a brave, bold person that will fight for what's right. Just like your father you fought for the people not for yourself and you always stood up for what was right even when everything was against you. The police beat you up, just like the police killed your father brutally, all my life has been ruined thanks to this corrupt, unjust world of ours. The police held a personal grudge against your father because he was 'rude' and 'disrespectful' to the government and to them. Your father was quite a character, he was the leader of all the protests against the government and was their main target. He conspired against them on behalf of the people and ended up being killed for it. I could sense a feeling of anxiety as soon as you were born, I've put you through so much already by being your mother. I feel so sorry for everything. Now I will tell my story, and how I put my life on the line for the country, for the people, and most of you, for you.
It was 2am in the morning and today was the day, I had made a promise to myself that I would come and visit you, my son in your dump site. I had been imprisoned ever since you were borne, which just so happened to be the same day as when your father, Russel died. He did not die in vain though as he passed his legacy onto you, which was to bring peace and justice to our country. Anyways, I was chiseling through
Best Day of My Life
I remember that day well. It was just another match day at the coliseum but this was different because that day I was going. I woke early that day with anticipation. I raced down the stairs putting my clothes on as I went even though I knew that the battle wasn't on for another two hours. I could see that day would be a day I would never forget because crowds of people were already walking past the door, there had never been that amount of people that early before. A truck rolled past carrying bloodthirsty tigers which was heading for the abnormally large arena, I thought these must be for another battle but I was later proved wrong.
I joined the bloodthirsty, anxious...show more content...
I quickly took my seat because the stadium was filling up fast. The music was already playing so I knew the action was about to begin. The stadium was filled with people all here to witness this spectacular event. Many people were wearing red gowns and giant silk scarf's, it looked like a sea of red. I could smell freshly baked bread, I didn't know why though. At one point I had to cover my ears with the sheer volume coming from the impatient crowd.
The animal hunt was up first, I had only ever heard about this, I had never actually seen it. Ten people where put in with a pack of wild bears they were only given one sword each, they where totally hopeless because the ripped them apart. It was quite enjoyable because they were only slaves.
Now was the time I was waiting for, Caesar came out and introduced the big match and gave us a big surprise, he got his servants to throw out bread and fruit from a cart. This must have been what I could smell earlier. I caught an apple many people lost out though. Luckily it tasted nice because I was hungry. Tigras came out on a horse drawn carriage pulled by 4 horse decorated with flowers, the crowd went silent obviously the crowd supported Maximus. A short time later Maximus casually strolled out the crowd went wild knocking the apple straight out of my hand. Maximus waved to us all he was a true
Our lives are surprising. We can't always predict what will happen to us, and what will have a profound impact on our future. Time is liquid, spilling between our fingers as we try to hold on to it. Significant moments of our own journey through the time we were given, mark us in a distinguished ways. Some scar us because of the traumatic events, inflicting pain and breaking our spirit. Other moments we hold on to dearly in our hearts and cherish, for the happiness they brought us. As humans we are more likely to remember the happy times.
It is difficult to pin point what day was exactly the happiest in my life. Was it the day I met my future husband? The day I married him? Or the day I became a mother? All of these were extremely...show more content...
It was just a regular dinner, or so I thought. But that evening, Pavel presented me with a beautiful ring and asked me to become his wife. I accepted and we began planning our wedding. Pavel originally came from Southern Highlands of Poland. Polish Highlander's share Polish patriotism, however they have their own dialect and customs. We decided we will observe Highland customs at our wedding. Pavel and I decided to wed in October, since Autumn is my favorite time of year. After a year of planning and preparing The Day had finally arrived. Both my parents flew to Chicago from Poland to help us celebrate. This was a truly a special day for me. I felt like a princess. I had the most beautiful, white wedding gown with long train, veil, angelic make–up and my hair was braided in an intricate up–do. Indeed, this was my day. Before we set off for church, we came to see our parents for blessing. Per Polish Highlander's tradition, we both knelt in front of Pavel and mine parents as they blessed us and sprinkled the top of our heads with Holy Water, while the Highland's Folk Band played on their instruments ancient wedding songs. The Church was magnificent, dressed in white ribbons and flower's fragrance permeating the air inside it. The soft light of the candles radiated throughout the church from the altar. Polish Priest, who wed Pavel and I, honored Pavel's heritage and wore old Polish Highlander's clothing reserved for occasions such as
Thursday, September 15, 2016 was the best day of my life. Earlier that day, I handed in a paper titled Passions and Desires. However little did I know, that God was going to reveal incredible things to me and the passions and desires I had written about where going to align with God's kingdom. Thursday, September 15, 2016 was the day I experienced God's kingdom and His shalom here on earth so beautifully and perfectly. The story begins a little earlier than Thursday. Last week, a man by the name of Paul Glader came and told me about New York City and journalism. Immediately, a light bulb went off in my head as I sat on the edge of my set, eager to learn more. Questions flooded my mind as everything this man said created in me a strong desire to go to New York City. Also, in that same week, I continued to receive emails from The Diamond and so I felt compelled to check it out. Little did I know that Paul Glader would once again speak to me and feed my desire to know more about journalism. After the meeting, I nervously sent a vulnerable email to Professor Pitts and told him I wanted to go to New York, but I didn't know how to get there. My step in faith had been the correct choice. He emailed me back and told me that this was exactly the kind of email he had been hoping to get when he dreamed of teaching at Dordt. Fast forward to Thursday. At 4:00, Professor Pitts and I talked about journalism. Everything that he told me was exactly what I had dreamed of. He told me that a

Monday mornings are horrible for everyone, But today, for me it might be the best day of my life. As the sun rose in the morning, I flew to my bathroom, took a nice shower and ate a full breakfast. I'm never this happy in the mornings but the fact that I'm going to ride a plane to China motivated me so much. No no no it's not the trip that's motivating me, it's that I get to leave home, from my family. People say families are the only treasure but my family is just useless to me. I just want to say they are no help to my life. Didn't my parents bought me the plane ticket to China? Heck no I worked for 4 months for my ticket, and all my money to spend in China. " Did you bring your stuff with you Josh? I'm not responsible for what you don't have so check right now " mom yelled " Yes I do mom just stop " I replied " Don't give me that attitude and tone with me! " mom yelled, again. This is why, I just hate here. Every things to say on earth would make me and my parents fight. " Don't say that to your mom, why can't you be nice for once josh? " Dad interfered. " SHE STARTED YELLING AT ME " I yelled as my neck ripped, As I went to my room I thought to myself that best day of my life is ruined. I'm done I'm out of here right now. My day turned good into bad in one blink, this is how my family goes, We have no respect for each other. I just feel like my parents found me under the bridge. My plane was at 3 pm but I ended up busting out at 10 am. Great. I have 5 hours to just do nothing. Every time parents ruin my day makes me want to kill myself. I went to the airport by taxi, which costed 50$, my mom or dad would never drive me to the airport. After I got to the airport, nothing has been good for me. Someone fell over and spilled coffee all over my shirt, which pissed me off, and all I got was " I'm so sorry! " and a tissue. The reason why I haven't lost my mind yet was because trip to China held my mind together. FINALLY I'm about to get in the plane. I waited for 3 hours which felt like 9 hours to me. Please, no more disasters, only happy things to go! Let's have fun in China! I whispered to myself. " Ladies and gentleman, This is the captain speaking, Please fasten your seatbelts, we will be heading soon.

This summer was possibly, no, most definitely the greatest in all my sixteen years of existence. Although I moved into a completely new town, my friends from back home still gave me three of the best days of my life. My friends and I waited all year for summer to come, and once it did, we were ready to have the greatest adventures of our lives, and believe me, we did. The air was hot, the water was warm, and we didn't put just put our feet in the pool of summer; we dived right in. The "day of the balloons," the Fourth of July, and my Sweet 16 were three of the most amazing days of my 2013 summer experience. I woke up at about noon on "the day of the balloons" because I had fell asleep at about the crack of dawn. Unfortunately, I awoke to sheets being torn off me with the kind of force that one might rip off a band aid. My best friend, Maria, stood above me and clapped her hands as if she'd just received some spectacular news, but it turned out she had just figured out how to make her first meal. I later found out the meal was eggs and bacon; I congratulated her on the... accomplishment. I rolled out of bed, fell, but managed to get up without anyone seeing, my pride still intact. We got ready for the day, I vaguely remember my outfit, but do remember Maria was wearing a white dress; she looked somewhat like a fairy princess, and come to think of it, she always looks like a fairy princess. We sat and contemplated our plans for the day, and after much contemplation, we

Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever. The best day of my life was definitely the day that I received my drivers' license. This day is one of the most memorable because of the feelings I had when I received it, the opportunities that were opened up for me and the long lasting benefits that I received from it that still exist today. Getting mydrivers' license was an intense feeling that I will never forget. Just knowing that I had a drivers' license made me feel so free, as free as a bird flying in the open sky with no real place to go, just a desire to...show more content...
My drivers' license brought me great feelings and let me do more with my life than I could ever do before. As well as giving me those feelings and that type of freedom, having my drivers' license opened up a new image of the community for me. I could see more of the city, gain experience with directions and I could improve my driving abilities all with my drivers' license. I also became very interested in the way the automobile works and eventually looking more into what makes it go faster. Driving fast in a car may be unsafe but the thrill and excitement of high rates of speed gave me a rush I had never felt before. Seeing, feeling and hearing everything go by faster made the whole driving experience so much better. My mouth watered with envy as I approached the drivers' seat every time I went out for a drive. The automobile, as a whole, became a high interest of mine; the styling, the sound and the speed of it. I loved driving and I loved cars and all of this new found love was from the birth of my drivers' license. Such a simple piece of paper opened up such a broad area of learning for me; it was of much amazement to me. Receiving my drivers' license was the best day of my life. It will be remembered forever because of the feelings, experience and new beginnings that it gave me. Today, I still hold my interest in the automobile but the thrill of driving has dulled significantly since I receive Get more content
The best day of my life became the worst in a split instant. November 11, 2016; remember the day in and day out. It started from an early morning of excitement because it was the first round of football playoffs , and our team had a very good season and were ready to make it far into playoffs. I was involved in student council and I attended every game. Taping gigantic posters and cheering the boys on from the sidelines was what I loved most. I got to school in the early morning to help ensure everything was ready for the playoff game. As I went to class to class I realized finally I made it to the end of the day. Before every game the flag runners and sponsors would go out to eat a pre–game meal. After getting super full and several corny jokes later it was time to get ready to load up the buses.
Getting the mascot , the run through , flags plus the poles , rally towels and our cooler was really a chore. We shared the bus with cheerleaders and being a past cheerleader I had a relationship with the team. We loaded the bus with much confidence and joy as we were on the way to Keller Central High School. As the 45 minute drive took longer than expect due to traffic , I received a text from my boss at the time , Mr.Wayne. I worked at the Dry Cleaners Super Center near Bowie and I worked everyday except Fridays & Sundays. " Where are you , you were suppose to be here at 3:00pm , what happened ?" . I told my boss about the playoffs coming up the week before , but he
