My Earliest Memory

It was a cold rainy day. I was gazing upon life outside my hotel window. It was my sixth birthday. My parents surprised me by taking me to Disney World. My Mom had just got done curling my hair and putting my dress on. "Don't jump on the bed and screw up all my hard-work young lady," she howled from the room attached to mine. It was such a nasty day out for my birthday. I remember wanting to go on the tea cups and eating on the boardwalk, dancing to the music and watching the sunset. Instead we ate dinner at the hotel restaurant, with surprises from some Disney characters from time to time. I wanted to go back up to the room to take off my itchy dress and put on some more comfortable clothing. Before we left the restaurant the waitress brought me a disgusting coffee flavored cupcake, what six-year-old likes coffee flavored anything. I'll never forget blowing out my candle wishing I could start the day over with the sun shinning away.

    aww that's so sad! When you're only six years old, that is a dramatically traumatic experience! Everything is larger than life at that age (I know, I'm a nanny!).

    Awwh that's so sad! What a horrible way to spend your birthday. It's always the most traumatic experiences that we remember the most. I can't believe that the waitress would give you a coffee flavored cupcake!? What was she thinking?

    Is it possible she didn't know it was a coffee flavored cupcake? Maybe it was supposed to be chocolate and was in the wrong place, or something like that.

    As for the day as a whole, you win some and you lose some, right? You've had ten birthdays since that one, and hopefully they've been better. Everything happens for a reason. You shouldn't take any birthday for granted, because you never know when it's going to be your last.

    Grade: 9/10
    Mistake:
    • Run-on sentence: Before we left the restaurant the waitress brought me a disgusting coffee flavored cupcake, what six-year-old likes coffee flavored anything
    • Mom isn't a proper name and shouldn't be capitalized
