this is actually an essay i made for my english class but i decided to share it here since i actually like it which is a first for me. (she better not give me a B!)
_____________________________________________________________________________
As much as I wanted my trip to be fun. Being with just my parents in Hawaii, and not even my sister with me wasn't that joyful. Like any other day I spent the morning on the beach. Digging bottomless holes in sand until I reached water, but instead of reaching water I found an object in a black plastic bag. I just couldn't fight my urge to open it, Curiosity killed the cat. Inside it was an old looking letter dating from 2005.
I didn't believe it before reading it. The letter was from a woman to her only child. The woman said she was afraid to die before her child knows how much she loves him. And that she never meant to do what she did. I didn't understand what she meant. I decided to search for her. Unfortunately she did pass away and I found her son instead. I gave the letter to him and apologized for reading it. He offered me tea and explained everything. His mom left him to an orphanage when he was just 6 years old. He always had this idea in his head that she hated him so much that she didn't want him anymore. That’s why the letter brought tears to his eyes.
I never once thought that I may help someone in a way that only happens in movies. I defiantly won't forget what happened and it will be one of the stories that I'll tell my grandchildren a hundred times while they're not even listening.
okay so re-reading that now made me realize how awesome it is...yeah ima genius ;)
