Extra Credit assignment.

1)There was this one time when I completely misunderstood the dress code at my friends party. It was on a bright sunny day, and I was invited to my friends birthday party to celebrate her fifteen year old birthday but I didn't pay much attention to the dress code on the invitation card thinking that it was a causal affair. As I arrived at the venue I paused and took a look at everyone's dressing and realized my ignorance towards the invitation card.

2)The obsession over something meaningless can often consume your thoughts. This happened on a day I was going to school and for some reason that same week I was fixed on carrying my teddy bear to everywhere in school. So on a Friday, I carried the same teddy with me everywhere I went. When I got home that day it occurred to me that I left my teddy at school which lead me to asking my mum if should could drive back  to school so I could retrieve it that night then, she said that I should wait till the next morning. The next morning I realized how much I obsessed over a teddy and decided after that night that I don't need it anymore and that it was basically useless to me.

3)The air was filled with joy and happiness on this day that by baby brother was born. On this very day in the morning my mum went to the gym with my dad for exercise and I was at home. My dad called two hours later saying the my mum's water had broke and they are making their way to the hospital. Immediately, I  did as my dad asked and waited at the front of the house for my Aunt to come pick me in twenty minutes .When we arrived at the hospital my baby brother was born and till today I can't reason how he was born so fast.

4)No matter how hard I try, I can't deny my actions. One day my mum said that she would go shopping with us and the only thing that she wanted for herself was half and half milk. So that afternoon we went shopping and bought all the things. After a while when she slept I wanted to drink cereal and realized that it was my mum's milk that remained in the house but I still choose to drink it, knowing how bad she wanted it. When she woke up the next morning and asked who had drank it and I immediately said admitted that it was me because I couldn't deny it.

5)I have seen to much of dirt in my home. On this day I was going to clean the whole house floor but work came up and I ignored it for that day but the next day I was having my bath and prepared to go to work and as a bent to pick up my clothes that fell on the ground I saw another pile of dirt but I choose to ignored it again. The following day I walked into the kitchen and said let me pick up my grape that fell on the ground and as I leaned towards the ground I saw dirt again and on that day I came to say that I had seen too much of dirt in my house and had to clean it up. 

6)I knew I was in trouble the day that I went to my mum's office. On that day, my mum said I should follow her to work since I was on a holiday and I agreed but on this day I went to my mum's office and waited for her because she had a meeting. After a while, I got bored playing games and waiting for her, then, I looked around her room and stood on the chair to reach something but I heard a squeak sound from the chair and at that minute I knew that I was in trouble, luckily my mum came inside and assessed the damage giving me a reminder of how fragile office equipment can be. 

7)There are moments from my childhood I don't exactly recall. I remember the images of me when I was turning 5 years old coming back to me piece by piece but the details are hazy to me. It is a feeling that I can't explain but I do know that I had a cake and many of my relatives were there but what I can't put together is how the part went down, what gifts I received, if my grandparents were there and what song was played at the party.

8)There are certain things that I used to know how to do like crossed legged sitting. It is quite painful because I used to brag back in middle school that I can do it for over 10 minutes straight and as a result I earned gifts in competitions for crossed leg sitting but now I guess puberty has taken over and I feel very much uncomfortable if I try to do it for just one minute. Puberty may have made me forget how to do a crossed legged sitting but it rewarded me with long legs which I very much enjoy now.

9)Dear Charles I want to begin by saying that I am honestly sorry that I laughed during your mum's burial and I admit my mistake and also take full responsibility for my mistakes. I understand that it made you feel angry that I did not just laugh once but multiple times. I know that it was wrong of me to do that. I know that these words are not enough to make you feel better and forgive me but I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me so that we can move forward from this together.

10)The air was tense on the day that my family secret was revealed. It is a secret that has been kept for centuries in my family and has only been said behind closed doors. This secret was revealed by a friend of mine who's name is Shelly. Earlier that day, Shelly came to my house while I was miserable about my boyfriend dumping me so I invited her in knowing the kind of gossiper she is. When I got drunk she took out her phone and recorded me and asked me my family deepest secret was and posted it on social media. The next morning it was revealed to everyone that in my family we don't grow eyebrows and that moment marked the beginning of a new reality for me.

11)It's strikes a feeling of betrayal when you know that a secret has been kept from you all this time. It makes you feel like an outsider. That morning I was told that my dad had two other wives and everyone knew except me. This information made me have a kind a odd feeling towards my dad and I could not remove that feeling because I finally understood what was happening. It was a frustrating feeling like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces but I think sometimes it is better not to know.

12)I recall receiving a gift once that was not well received. It was a gift that was given to me on my 13th birthday. It was a gift given to me with good intentions but I remember clearly of how upset I was about the gift but could not refuse it. After my birthday, I realized how useful the gift my parents gave me were and why they gave me that gift. I made sure to put the gift to good use and learned that is it is important to focus on the intention behind the gift rather than the gift alone.

13)Dear Shelly, I want to use this moment to thank you for how you took care of me during my teenage years after my mum abandoned me. I am searching for the words to use that would adequately convey the depth of my thanks. I am truly grateful for all the things you provided for me in this past years. You have always been there offering a listening ear, giving me a shoulder to lean on and providing me words of wisdom that helped me shape my journey in life. I am forever thankful for your kind words that always brightened my day. I will always remember the moments we spent together.

14).Life is the existence of an individual human being or animal. I am certain is that life is precious and fragile. Life is something we should cherish because it is a gift given to man. Every moment in life counts and are fragile cause can be forgotten. Life is first above anything else and I am certain that everything else comes after life like beauty, status, family, love and religion. Life does not last forever so we should learn to cherish every moment.

15)I have experienced a day devoid of joy ,where every moment seems to drag on. No matter how much I tried to infuse some appearance of fun into my day ,it felt like a continuous battle that never ended. Every joke felt flat and every activity that day lacked fun. It was like my world that day was filled with misery and like obstacles were thrown on my path to fun. In every way I tried to have fun, laughter felt like it wasn't within my reach that day.

16)There comes a point in life when you realize you have to bid farewell to something or someone you hold dear .This happened on a bright sunny Monday, I was at a basketball match and went to participate as usual but during the match I was pushed to a sharp edge of a bench across the court by someone ten times bigger than me and as a result the my knee tissues were deeply cut and at this point I realized that my basketball career could end. When I woke up the next morning I was told that I can't play any sports anymore.

17)There are times in life when we come across pictures and albums that flashes past memories of someone or something. This happened on a bright morning, I was clearing the house and all of a sudden an album dropped from the top of the cabinet. It was scattered all over the ground and as I bent down to pick it up, I opened it and saw the picture of someone who I don't recall at all and I was desperately trying to recall the person on the picture because I had this person picture in my album but the memories remain exclusive, like fragments of a dream slipping through my fingers.

18)The feeling of regret that occurs when you wish you asked that question that day. This happened on a Monday, when I went to school and had a mathematics class. My teacher explained what liner equations were and gave examples but I did not quite understand what we were always trying to find in each equation but I proudly did not ask any questions. The next day we were given a short quiz unannounced that was going to be marked for a grade but my mathematics teacher was not around so we had a substitute teacher in the class that day. At that point during the quiz, I felt regret for not asking questions.

19)There are moments when things feel out of place like when picking an outfit for a special occasion because it might seem like an a task too small but it can pose as a difficult task for some people. It can be done as fast as possible and be pushed aside but it can also be a source of stress or indecision because it requires time and resources. Selecting the right outfit involves personal preferences, style, and occasion appropriateness and can't be taken as too small or big.

20)Life sometimes has a way of derailing your plans. It happened yesterday, when I planned to go home immediately after school to attend a pool party but I was called to basketball practice. After basketball practice I remembered that I refused to go for some after school tutoring, then, I thought that since there is still time let me go for it. After I finished the tutoring I called my mum to come pick me up so I can attend the pool party. On our way there I was so worn out that I slept off. Later, when I woke up I was at home and my mum informed me that I was so worn out so she brought me home.

21)Some wounds refuse to heal, no matter how much you try. Recently, my aunt passed away and I am yet to recover from the pain and grief. The memories that I have of her keeps coming back and reminding me of how much I miss her. These memories hurts me and lingers ghostly presences in my mind and no matter how hard I try the pain in my heart doesn't get any better. The remorse feeling of not treating her well will  always be present.
