My Defining Moment
I don’t remember the exact dates, but I do remember these moments. There have been numerous times when I realized that I was no longer a child.

The screen was completely shattered, there were cracks where there was missing glass, parts of the camera showing, but the case wasn’t cracked, although it was scratched in places. After the two year plan was up on the phones my parents decided to upgrade us to Samsung phones. Because of the numerous accidents my parents decided, even though my sister didn’t agree, that iPhones were way too expensive and a waste of money like hoverboards.
