The day I was born in Providence St. Mary Medical Center in Apple Valley, California, on a nice, warm day, the reason I chose this day and this memory is because this is the day I was brought into this world.

My first birthday was a celebration of my existence in this world, and my whole family came together to celebrate me.

I wrote this reason because we took a very cute family photo and I will always look back at that photo with much love for my family.

My father brought home a dog for me, and I had never felt so excited. And she lived on for 7 years. Her name was Ginger, and she was one of the first animals I ever had, and she was a mix of shih tzu and pomeranian. The reason I chose this as a memory is because my father was not in my life for long, and I will always be grateful for the gift he gave me before he and my mom separated

My father and my mother divorced, leaving me to live with my mom and my siblings. This is a huge moment in my life as I still haven't seen my father in years, and I never knew that would be the day he left my family permanently

My younger sister was born on this day in the same hospital where I was born. I wrote this as a huge event because she is very important in my life, and I wouldn't be the person I am without her in my life.

We moved from California to Wisconsin to move in with my new stepdad. This is a huge moment in my life, fully changing my environment and how I started a new school, and was in a place where I had nobody but my family.

My mom and my stepdad divorced, but we decided to stay and live here! This was a very big moment in our lives as we were debating whether to change our whole environment and start new in California or proceed to live here.

We decided to go back to California for vacation and brought our dog! This is a very big memory because I spent such a fun time with my family, and especially because it was Christmas.

Our dog died on the night of Christmas. This was very sad for my family, as our dog was very important to us, and we were so upset and grieving, as our dog had been through everything with us.
