It was the best of times and the worst of times!

It was the best of time and the worst of times

Looking back in my life there are special memories that stand out from the rest.

I have many, too many actually! But my top favorites are, the Canucks going to the cup finals, the 2010 Olympics, and bringing a really cool starfish in order!

It’s the first time in about 12 years or so that they have made it to the finals, and it’s our time. The energy in the stadium is going to be wild! Flags are waving so wildly, the stadium may lift off the floor into the victory. Seeing all the players come out, everyone’s in the stadium and sitting at home are filled with butterflies, in the hopes of meeting burrows, or bieksa, or even luongo after a hard working game, is the hopes of the millions in Vancouver and maybe even around the world. As much as stand tall for our canucks, we need to be ready to catch them when we fall. It’s not easy doing everything you can for the big prize, and has it taken away from you in front of all your fans that stood with you for weeks and weeks.

The Canucks are the best thing that has happened to the city of Vancouver. Concerts, the brutal rivalry between Canada and the US in the gold medal game and the sad death of the skeleton athlete, he will be missed. Marianas Trench came and was a huge success in getting the fans pumped for every game leading up to the gold medal win.

One of the most outrageous events though, is catching my starfish. I was strolling along the beach one day, and a starfish caught my eye. I picked it up with the hopes of seeing some cool designs, maybe see some eyes, or even a nose.  I didn’t see any! I wanted to take it home, but mom said that’s its not good to take an animal away from its natural habitat. I put the star fish back in its home, I felt so good. I’m going to miss the little guy, but he has a home and I can’t do that to him, or her.

I wish I could go back and live all these experiences over again. But really, I was left with a sense of happiness for my life and how much I am able to see. I really enjoyed the experience.
