Proud Accomplishment I was at a tennis tournament a saturday morning‚ it was early around 8 o’clock.

My favorite holiday memory was Thanksgiving with my family in 2010. As soon as I stepped foot into my grandmother’s small townhouse I said hi to everyone shaked my uncle’s with a firm grip‚ kissed my grandpa and grandma’s hands‚ and my aunts all left a huge red spot of lipstick on my cheek acting as if I was still a kid. When I was done doing with business I gave my four other cousins around my age that look‚ which was to run to the basement and wrestle or do other wild things until my grandpa would

A moment in my life where I was proud of myself happened around the summer I graduated from high school in 2007.
