My unforgettable experience
There are things in our life that might not be easy to forget: a triumphant match, the first kiss from our love, a school reunion, the first time we are wronged by our teacher or parents, a time we have to choose between our consciences and our desires, and so on. For me, those things around me, I will never forget them. Before I was ten years old, I lived with Dad. Teaching in a school far away from home, Mom came to see us only at the weekend. During the week, Dad assumed all the responsibilities of taking care of me both in my daily life and in my study. Occasionally, Dad had to be out for work all day, from the early morning to the late night. Then, in the morning, I would be woken up by an alarm clock near the pillow. Opening my eyes reluctantly and looking at the clock, I was sure I could find a slip of paper by it which read:"You had better get up right now before you fall asleep again. Nobody will wake you up a second time." Such a slip made me "alarmed." I would get up immediately because I didn't want to be late for school. Going to the table, I would find another slip lying on it. Reading it, I could see how Dad had made arrangements for my meals, which were always seen to by those kind neighbors. When I sat at the desk, I found the words, “Remember to keep a proper distance between your eyes and your book." Though Dad was away from home, I could hear his voice and feel his care everywhere. Sometimes it would be me who wrote a lot of slips, especially when I had done something wrong. It was too embarrassing for me to confess my faults to Dad face to face. I also chose the method of writing slips: “Dad, I am sorry to tell you that I have made a mistake. Please forgive me." In our daily lives, love is playing an important role. Love needs expression, so as to narrow the distance between people. When you cannot say it aloud, please write it.

    I remember staring at the wall with my face feeling hot and wet. The look of confusion and sadness on my father’s face brought tears to my eyes. This memory stained my room forever. This memory tainted my perception of the house. The house slowly transformed into a less innocent version of itself. The feeling of not wanting to forgive was the most painful of them all. I did not understand why she did what she did but it was a fact and we all have to accept facts. I knew that this was the event that would change my life forever. This made me want to leave the house that I so dearly loved before and make something better of…

    Though it was hard growing up with my mom; every few years I would be able live with to my dad. He lived in Washington most of my life: Spokane, Wallawall, and Yakima- mostly because of the army.

    Love – the language of the world. Everyone feels love at least once in their lifetime and yet it is something that can’t be explained rationally; it can only be accepted. Love is like ocean waves; being calm and serene at a moment, and without warning becoming violent. Love has no formal meaning because everyone experiences it differently, what one person thinks is love, another may think is infatuation or vice versa. In the end, obtaining love seems to be the main underlying aspiration that we all strive for in our lifetimes. It is the one thing that we undauntedly all, as humans, have in common.…

    When I was just six, my parents bought the restaurant that my mother had been working at as a waitress. The previous owners were getting very old and did not want to put their employees out of work by closing it, so my parents stepped up. My father had a full time civil service job so my mother handled most of the business and managing affairs. My father would also help out every evening after coming home from his day job. We all spent most of our waking hours downstairs helping. We even lived in the apartments upstairs. My two brothers, my parents and myself all managed to live somewhat peacefully in just those three rooms. I remember being sort of…

    Moving away from home and being in college, I look back on my years at home with a little bit of sadness and tad bit of regret. I realize that I took my father for granted. When I would complain about how much homework a teacher had given me, I never once heard him complain about staying late after work.

    ‘Please take a seat, I will be back in a second’ Said Mr. Alford, as he pointed his hand towards the lounge. I nodded gently as I walked pass my parent’s old bedroom. As I looked around, the bedroom itself hadn’t changed much since I was a little kid; I haven’t seen it in a while thought. I remember how I came in here a lot in the middle of a thunderstorm at night to wake my mother up, as I was too scared to sleep by myself. My father hated that! However, my mother always laughed her head off as she wondered how a little kid like me could walk all the way across the hallway to her bedroom in the dark, yet still be scared of thunder storms. She would then carry me back to my own room every night until I was about 5; after that age she wasn’t able to carry me anymore. Not that I’m too big or too fat or anything, she was just really sick. My father always said, “mummy needs more sleep than us”, and not to wake her up because she would be really tired. Of course, I’d always break the rules when my dad wasn’t around, as he would always spend his time in the study room with my two older brothers. I often snuck into this very room to wake her up, she never complained though. Regardless of how late, dark or tired she was, she would always be happy to see me.…
