A memory that I would love to cherish forever are my memories from my dance competitions. These matter to me because I have learned and grown so much from these experiences. Dancing on stage is always nerve wrecking but it brings me joy at the same time. And I always have such a fun time with my friends and others around me. Sincerely, Josephine

This is a message from your younger self to never forget the joy of theater and performing. The way your heart beats on opening night, the shaky hands when you get the cast list, and the late nights that are tiring but so so rewarding. Never forget how it lifted a weight off your shoulders and gave you a place to laugh and cry and forget the world while making someone else's world a little better. Remember that theater taught you how to love and be loved by a community that g

The feeling of winning a debate is that like none other. I have always relished that feeling but to be able to experience it at a Junior Nationals on my debut tournament was a whole other crazy and probably one of the proudest moments of my life. I hope I always remember that feeling, I hope I get to feel it again, I hope I never lose this love, this passion that runs so deep for something I never want to stop doing. I hope other people find it and love it as much as I do Sin

The one memory that will stay with me is the trip i went with my friends to the wonderland. I was so happy that i wish i could live that moment all over again and be the child enjoying rides and losing myself in the world of joy. Thank you Sincerely, Avi

One memory that's I'd always like to remember for my life is probably going to the park everyday, early morning, with my father during my early childhood. The way I'd walk on the green grass, bare feet and run around. Another one of my favourite memories is the look of hope, happiness and proudness my mom gives me when I do something great. Something she didn't pressurise me to do, and I did it on my own will. The freedom to choose. Having random conversation with my sister,

One memory I hope will always stay with me is the night my team won our final basketball game of the season. The gym was loud, everyone was exhausted, and the score was close the entire time. When the final buzzer went off and we realized we had won, we all ran onto the court, celebrating together. It wasn’t just about the win, but about everything that led up to that moment, like the long practices, early mornings, and times we almost gave up. This memory matters to who I am

I never want to forget the memory of swimming my first swim meet as a child. I remember being confused where I was when my parents made me step on the outside pool deck. I had only ever had lessons in the indoor pool; everything was new to me. The lane I was sorted in was on the leftmost side of the pool and the furthest lane. Backstroke was the event. I started in the water holding onto the deck, then pushed off when I heard the echo of the buzzer ring out through the air. E

If you look back 5 years ago and read this letter you wouldn’t believe it. However five years from now you will probably look at this moment and remember that feeling you felt exactly. Going into a new private high school you knew nobody except one basketball friend. When you got to school although you are very social person the first couple of weeks were really hard. You felt like you were being a burden to that one friend, you missed the feeling of knowing everybody at your

Dear You, People think memory loss is just forgetting things, like names or where you put your phone. But it feels like more than that. It’s like slowly losing pieces of a story, except the story is your life. Imagine trying to explain who you are, but the details keep slipping away before you can hold onto them. If I could ask for one thing, it would be patience. Don’t rush people. Don’t laugh when they repeat themselves. Those moments might feel small to you, but they can f

I hope you remember the summer with our best friend; when we swam for hours until long after the sun set, and my face slightly stung from the sunburn. Sipping my first shirley temple while the warmth of the sunlight illuminated the water. Those sleepovers and late night chats, and the mornings dry from the chlorine. I hope you remember lying in bed gazing at the sky through the ceiling. This memory is a gentle reminder that life is not just about hardships; and the positive m

One memory I hope to keep forever is the first time I ever met my best friend in elementary school as it has changed the way I look at the world today. Prior to meeting them, I was the most antisocial kid and would always eat lunch alone in the corner, but my teacher noticed that there was another kid in her class who recently transferred schools, and was just like me who had not many friends. She asked me one morning if I would hang out with them, and as an obedient student

I'm writing today because I wanted to let you know many people care and appreciate you. I hope your day is peaceful and filled with small moments that make you smile. Please know that there are many people in your community thinking of you and wishing you well. You’re doing an amazing job. I wish you the best. Sincerely, Ali Kurdi-Gallinger

One memory I always want to keep with me are the memories of being with my family as a child. I don't remember many details of my childhood, but I do remember they were full of fun and bliss. I remember my parents working so hard to take care of me and make me feel loved, and I always want to keep that memory with me. Sometimes I think back to that time and it makes me really grateful. It impacts who I am today because it helps me to appreciate the small moments in life and c

Throughout my life, I feel only a few people have made a significant influence on my life, one especially, my mom. I remember one time my mom told me a story of her and me walking down the streets, encountering a homeless man on the way to our destination. Initally, she did not think much about him, but I asked if we could buy him food from the bakery we were going to. Hearing this story shocked me, but it made me realize how lucky I am to have such an empathetic moral figure

I remember a time when life felt chaotic and overwhelming, but even then there were small moments of peace hidden inside it. When everything felt too crazy, you would go to Newport Beach and try to surf, even though you were terrible at it. The waves made things feel clearer in your mind even though you were being violated by them because you were terrible at surfing. Sometimes you would sit and draw small doodles just to slow your thoughts down. Looking back, the waves and s

记住所有美好的事物，记住这个世界上我最爱的人和爱我的人 Translated: Remember all the beautiful things. Remember the people in this world whom I love the most, and who love me. Sincerely, YX

One memory that will always stay with me would be an experience from my 8th grade math class. Before this, I thought patience was just about waiting. I absolutely dreaded math, however I always looked forward to seeing my new friend whom I would help out everyday. Whether it was a simple problem or just listening over and over again to whatever stories he had to say, being there for him was the highlight of that math period. Many would often make fun of him for being slow, or

두 달 전 겨울방학 때, 나는 15년 동안 살았던 서울에 혼자 잠시 다시 들렀다. 그때 나는 한국에서 가장 유명한 타워 중 하나인 남산타워에 올라갔다. 밤 8시, 눈이 내리는 가운데 나는 산을 올라 남산타워의 꼭대기에 도착했다. 그리고 전망대에서 내가 좋아하는 노래를 들으며 눈 내리는 서울의 야경을 바라보았다. 그때 내 머릿속에는 이대로 살면 절대 안 된다는 생각이 떠올랐다. 나는 더 큰 목표를 가지고, 내가 진짜 원하는 삶을 위해 더 노력해야겠다고 느꼈다. 지난 학기 동안 나는 기분이 항상 가라앉아 있었고, 학교를 제외하면 밖에 나가지도 않고 아무런 활동도 하지 않았다. 그 순간은 나를 돌아보게 만들었고, 앞으로 어떻게 살아가야 할지에 대한 방향을 잡게 해주었다. 이어서 나는 옆에 있는 사람들의 웃는 표정을 보며, 나도 언젠가는 꼭 그렇게 행복하게 살아야겠다고 다짐했다. 그래서 너도 그 순간을 절대 잊지 않기를 바란다.

When I think of a memory I would not want to forget, I’m immediately taken back to a beach date I had with my friends in middle school. I clearly remember getting driven to Newport Beach, it was a busy day, the weather was perfect, and I was with my closest friends. It was a blissful era that symbolized the peak of not only my friendship, but happiness. Even now, I’m always reminded of the same warm feeling that I experienced that summer day. Moreover, it remains as one of th

I hope to keep a memory of everyone and everything that has made me afraid to let go. I've come to realize I'm a mosaic of everything I’ve ever loved. It is my identity. Each little thing that I've experienced adds a piece to the collage. From blasting music into my headphones to the shows that make me laugh and cry, to the goals I plan to strive, and most importantly, the people who have made me grateful to be alive. I hope to remember the way the air smells before it rains,
