My 3 Favourite Memories by Faith :)

My first favourite memory was when I went to Vancouver with my mom. I was still very young then (about 5 or 6), so details about the memory are quite vague. However, I remember I went with my cousins to a lot of places like an amusement park, the beach, lots of shops and restaurants, Chinatown, and this really cool evening outdoor market which sold lots of unique and cute items (some of which I still have as a keepsake). It was really fun because not only did I get to go somewhere other than Winnipeg, but I also got to spend time with my relatives who live in Vancouver. 

My second favourite memory was when I had my first singing recital. I was really nervous and excited at the same time to be performing in front of lots of people. I had practiced so hard just to make sure I would sound good during my performance. When I stepped on stage my family was smiling, and it was comforting to know that I had a whole group of people supporting me. I sang and everybody clapped afterwards. It felt good to be appreciated for my effort. I’m still really thankful that I got such a good response even though I was still young and had a lot to learn when it came to singing. Sadly, I stopped my voice lessons but maybe one day I'll try again and perform, because I kind of miss it.

My third and final favourite memory was having laugh attacks with my friends throughout this school year. I’m sure my other classmates have seen me and usually Ngoc, just dying of laughter in the corner. No one around us ever gets why we’re laughing. They just stare at us and ask “Are you okay?” while looking at us like we’re crazy. The utter confusion of everyone else around us just makes it even funnier. They do say “laughter is the best medicine” and I believe it is. It’s a way of bonding and strengthening friendships because it’s fun when you’re laughing with someone. I don’t exactly remember what we were laughing at in particular at the time (or times, rather, as I think we’ve had more than 10 SEVERE laugh attacks already), but I can say that it was fun.
