essay on most important day in my life
Answers
When I was 5, my Dad was going to take me fishing. At that point, it was the biggest, most important day of my little life. My mom made sure I was ready. I had my hat, a new Minnie Mouse fishing pole, & she helped me make lunch for my special day out with Dad.
When I was 12, I was having a pool party for my birthday & I got to invite a lot of friends from school. My birthday is on December 24, so having a pool party in the middle of summer was a big deal. I would have said it was the most important day of my life at that point. 2 birthday celebrations in one year…what kid wouldn’t love that! So my mom saved up money for the big day. We bought decorations, picked out food & a cake, sent out invitations, & I got a new bathing suit.
When I was 16, I got my driver’s license. It was the most important day of my teenage life & meant that I had a little more independence & freedom. My mom helped me prepare. She helped teach me to drive, she took me to get my license, she cheered me on & yes, she helped to convince my dad that I really did need that nice, sporty car I had my eye on. {Thank you mom!}
When I was 18, I was graduating high school & going to prom. It was the most important day of my life. Everything had to be perfect! I had to have the perfect dress, the perfect shoes, my makeup & hair had to be professionally done, we needed a sweet ride & we had to have something fun & memorable to do after prom. It was a big deal. My mom again saved up to buy me that perfect dress & to pay for my makeup & hair, & she helped to convince my dad that prom is a rite of passage for a senior & that I didn’t need a curfew that night. {Again, thanks mom!}
When I was 22, I graduated from college. It was the most important day of my life. I had worked hard through school & was now ready & prepared to enter the workforce as a mature adult & make some money honey! My mom worked hard to make sure I had what I needed while I was in college. She furnished my apartment, encouraged me in my studies, helped me through “crisis” moments, & let me learn some tough life lessons on my own while always providing a listening ear & a shoulder to cry on.
Later that year, at 22, I got married. It was the most important day of my life. I thought prom had to be perfect. Ha! This was my wedding day…the day that most little girls dream about. It was here & it had to be just so. My parents were generous to me with the wedding budget, my mom helped me through every step of the planning process {even when I was being bridezilla}, took me to all my appointments, did all the decorating & clean up, & was as proud as could be of her daughter & new son-in-law on our very special day.
