A Night to Remember

I grew up in Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo. I really don’t remember much about it, I just remember when we had to move a lot because of war. Every time but my family found a place where we stayed until I was seven. We stayed in Tanzania in a town called Nyarugusu. Everybody used to fear that place, but I didn’t know why. At night time my dad never wanted me to be outside. If he found me outside I would be in so much trouble. It was not a bad Some people dream of success... while…

I always thought in those scenarios I would be a burden to my family to I choose to stay home. However Dominican Republic is absolutely one of the places I would like to visit. I remember friends going there and bringing back souvenirs. I remember seeing pictures of all the exotic animals, parrots,…

The whole experience was just overwhelming and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I still remember that day like it was yesterday because it is always playing in the back of my head. The year was 2011, and it was the last Monday of October.

The walls where white and bare except for streaks of lurid mahogany dye…

Our end of the year field trip was one to remember. I do not remember everything from it but I do remember going to the big sand area, it was so fun even though there was bad weather I still had a blast jumping and flipping in the sand. I also remember the last night we were there we had a dance and it was the best dance in all my middle school years. They had great music, everyone was dancing, even the teachers were dancing. It was a night to remember and I am so glad I got to experience…

As I clearly remember as if it were yesterday, today I will discuss the tragedy that changed Paris forever. • II.

Although I can’t exactly remember what we all came up with, Mum landed on Teeda at the end. From what she and Mum told us, it meant angel in Thai. That and standing out from the rest by being referred to in a non-English name (some of my family use names from Western culture in everyday…

checked every six months. So from my tonsillectomy and recovery, here are the moments I remember. When we started driving on the morning of the surgery, I was exhausted because the night before, I stayed awake, anxious for the day coming. What will happen? and how long will it take? and will I be okay? and will I have to stay overnight? and what if I don’t wake up? I thought all of these thoughts to myself that night, making me even more nervous. My…
